As part of its commitment to empowering orphaned children through hands-on learning, Kuramaa organized an educational field trip to Wilco Chicken Factory in Lebanon. The visit included 70 orphaned Syrian students, offering them a rare opportunity to explore how food is processed—from farm to table—while learning about food safety, hygiene standards, and the broader local food industry.
Why an Educational Trip to Wilco Matters
This educational visit to Wilco Chicken Factory wasn’t just a day out—it was a powerful learning experience. The students witnessed firsthand the stages of poultry processing: receiving, treatment, cleaning, packaging, and distribution.
This real-world exposure helped connect what they learn in classrooms with how the food industry works, deepening their understanding of production systems. It’s a practical approach that reflects Kuramaa’s mission to raise a generation of informed, capable, and productive youth, despite the hardships of displacement and loss.
Raising Awareness on Food Production and Safety
Understanding the food production chain is essential for the younger generation, and this trip made it accessible and engaging. The Wilco team provided a comprehensive explanation of each production stage while emphasizing food safety protocols and hygiene standards.
The children learned how their daily meals go through a meticulous process to ensure health and quality. This helped foster respect for the effort behind food preparation and an appreciation for healthy eating habits—core elements of Kuramaa’s holistic educational programs.
Developing Professional and Environmental Awareness
The trip also aimed to cultivate a sense of professional and environmental awareness among the children. Observing the machines, factory procedures, and employee responsibilities gave them a glimpse into the discipline and efficiency of a real work environment.
Such exposure can inspire long-term aspirations in children, helping them imagine potential careers or entrepreneurial opportunities—especially important for orphaned youth who often lack access to diverse experiences. This aligns with Kuramaa’s goal to equip orphaned children not only with academic knowledge but with life skills and career orientation.
Bridging Theory and Real-World Practice
By witnessing how lessons in science, biology, and hygiene translate into real-world practices, students gained deeper, more memorable learning. Kuramaa strongly believes that learning must go beyond textbooks, and this trip allowed children to ask questions, observe, and engage in a tangible learning environment.
The students were curious, enthusiastic, and engaged—evidence of the impact such field trips can have in stimulating analytical thinking and creativity, especially when theoretical knowledge meets real-life application.
