As part of its ongoing efforts to empower orphans and widows, Kuramaa organized a special recreational trip to the Cedars Mountains in Lebanon for 80 high-achieving Syrian orphan students. The trip offered them a joyful escape into nature, filled with snow activities, laughter, and meaningful social connections—an experience that blends emotional support with educational encouragement.
More Than Just a Trip
The Outstanding Students’ Trip to the Cedars was not just a getaway—it was a strategic step in Kuramaa’s holistic approach to orphan care and development.
Students enjoyed skiing, building snowmen, and playing in the snow, many of them experiencing snow for the very first time. These moments of happiness are essential for children who have been through the trauma of displacement and loss.
Rewarding Excellence, Inspiring More
One of the core goals of this activity was to motivate students to continue excelling academically.
When a child sees their hard work acknowledged with a joyful experience, it reinforces their commitment and fuels their determination—especially in harsh refugee conditions.
Kuramaa believes that education is the foundation of a better future, and supports students not just in classrooms, but in every aspect of their development.
Emotional and Social Support Through Experience
Orphaned children need more than just school supplies and shelter—they need joy, connection, and a sense of belonging.
This trip provided exactly that. The shared experiences and fun helped strengthen peer relationships, and gave the children emotional release from daily stress.
As part of Kuramaa’s flagship Widows and Orphans Care Program, the trip served as a tool for mental wellbeing and community bonding.
Kuramaa’s Vision in Action
Since its founding, Kuramaa has worked to create an inclusive environment where orphaned children and widowed mothers can thrive through:
-
Academic and university education programs
-
Vocational training for widows
-
Psychological and social care
-
Emergency relief services
This trip is one example of how Kuramaa turns donations into transformative experiences for children, empowering them to dream, smile, and grow.
Why Supporting Kuramaa Makes a Real Difference
Every donation to Kuramaa goes beyond just food or tuition—it brings light and laughter into the lives of children who need it most.
Imagine a child who has known only loss and war, now laughing in the snow for the first time. That’s what your support can do.
Your gift today creates brighter futures. Help us raise a generation of resilient, educated youth who can rebuild their communities.
The Cedars Mountains trip for outstanding students is a reminder that even small moments of joy can create lifelong impact.
Through this initiative, Kuramaa told each child: “We see your hard work, and we believe in your future.”
