As part of its mission to enrich the learning experiences of orphans, Kuramaa organized an educational field trip to Birla Tissue Factory in Lebanon. This unique visit allowed 100 Syrian orphaned children to explore how tissue paper is produced—from raw materials to the final packaged product. The activity is part of Kuramaa’s broader program for the care and rehabilitation of widows and orphans, aiming to combine education with real-world exposure.
The Value of Industrial Field Trips for Orphans
This educational visit was more than a tour—it was a hands-on learning opportunity designed to:
-
Spark curiosity about how things are made
-
Introduce local industries and manual professions
-
Show children how teamwork and technology shape everyday products
-
Highlight the value of professional discipline, safety, and quality control
The children observed every step in the production line, guided by factory staff who provided clear and engaging explanations on how machines operate, how quality is ensured, and how safety protocols are followed.
Such experiential learning is key to building awareness about the labor force, local economy, and the variety of roles behind a single product.
Inspiring Future Career Paths
One of Kuramaa’s core values is preparing orphans not just to survive, but to thrive and become productive members of society.
Through this factory visit, children had the chance to:
-
See real workplaces and understand what careers in manufacturing look like
-
Connect classroom knowledge (like science or math) to real-life applications
-
Develop early ideas about future career paths in technical or industrial fields
For many of these children—most of whom have faced displacement, instability, and trauma—such a positive, structured exposure to the world of work is essential for rebuilding their sense of purpose and ambition.
Empowerment Through Exposure
This trip is part of Kuramaa’s larger effort to offer Syrian orphans not just aid, but opportunity. By introducing them to factories, businesses, and professionals, Kuramaa builds:
-
Awareness of local industries
-
Respect for manual and technical labor
-
Confidence to dream beyond traditional limitations
-
A desire to learn, build, and contribute to their community
Kuramaa believes that true empowerment starts with knowledge—and sometimes, the most impactful lessons happen outside the classroom.
