As part of Kuramaa’s Orphans and Widows Care Program, a heartwarming recreational activity was held at Minimi Restaurant in Tripoli for 100 displaced orphaned children currently residing in Lebanon. This initiative, made possible through a generous collaboration with Al-Ataa Association, aimed to bring joy and emotional relief to these children through fun, safe, and engaging experiences.
Why Recreational Activities Matter for Orphans
Recreational activities are essential to the healthy emotional and psychological development of orphaned children. These children often face trauma, displacement, and the burden of loss at an early age. Through such activities, we can:
-
Reduce anxiety, stress, and emotional isolation.
-
Help children feel seen, valued, and part of a community.
-
Improve communication and social skills.
-
Create positive memories that foster hope and resilience.
At Kuramaa, we deeply believe that care must go beyond material needs — it must also address the emotional and psychological healing of children impacted by war and displacement.
Highlights of the Activity at Minimi Restaurant
The event at Minimi Restaurant was more than just a meal — it was a full day of laughter, play, and connection.
The children enjoyed a variety of interactive games — both physical and electronic — that allowed them to express themselves freely and energetically. The joyful atmosphere helped the children engage with one another, build friendships, and momentarily escape the weight of their daily struggles.
The day concluded with a shared lunch in a welcoming and safe environment, helping to strengthen their sense of belonging and care. The entire experience was designed to make each child feel loved, supported, and appreciated.
A Step Toward Emotional Recovery
This activity is part of a larger effort by Kuramaa to integrate psychosocial support into every aspect of its programs. Our goal is not just to provide a temporary escape, but to lay a foundation for long-term emotional healing.
Through these outings, we aim to:
-
Rebuild emotional confidence and self-esteem.
-
Encourage interaction and trust among peers.
-
Offer a glimpse of normalcy in unstable lives.
For many children, a single day like this can restore a sense of joy they haven’t felt in years.
Kuramaa’s Orphans and Widows Care Program
Since its launch in 2013, the Orphans and Widows Care Program has been a cornerstone of Kuramaa’s mission to empower families affected by war and displacement. The program operates in Syria and neighboring countries, offering comprehensive support through:
-
Educational sponsorships for orphans.
-
Psychological and emotional support.
-
Vocational training and life-skills education for widowed mothers.
-
Safe environments that foster family and community rebuilding.
Events like the Minimi Restaurant activity are just one way Kuramaa turns compassion into action — bringing smiles, restoring dignity, and nurturing dreams.
