As part of Kuramaa\u2019s Orphan and Widow Care & Empowerment Program<\/em><\/a>, an educational trip was organized to Bader Hassoun Eco Village<\/strong> in Lebanon. The activity brought together 100 displaced Syrian orphans in an interactive experience to learn about natural soap making<\/strong>, sustainability, and environmental preservation \u2014 all through hands-on workshops and guided tours designed to inspire and educate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bader Hassoun Eco Village: A Living Model of Sustainability<\/h2>\n

Bader Hassoun Eco Village<\/strong> is renowned for its traditional and natural soap-making practices, using pure essential oils and organic herbs. During the trip, the children explored the entire soap-making process<\/strong>, from selecting raw materials to the final handcrafted products.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

This real-life learning aligns perfectly with Kuramaa\u2019s mission<\/strong>: to empower orphaned children through knowledge, practical skills, and exposure to sustainable practices that connect them to nature and heritage.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Hands-on Learning Through Workshops<\/h2>\n

One of the highlights of the visit was the interactive workshop<\/strong>, where children got to make their own natural soaps. They learned to measure, mix, and mold<\/strong> ingredients such as olive oil, lavender, and herbal extracts. This hands-on activity not only boosted their curiosity but also strengthened their creative and practical thinking skills<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

At Kuramaa<\/a>, we believe learning by doing helps children build confidence and understand that they are capable of creating, building, and becoming future leaders<\/strong>, despite the hardships they\u2019ve faced.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Promoting Environmental Awareness and Local Heritage<\/h2>\n

The children also had the chance to tour the eco village, exploring green spaces and discovering how local plants and herbs are used in traditional industries. Through this, they learned the importance of preserving the environment<\/strong>, respecting nature, and valuing clean, healthy products<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

This experience introduced the orphans to a world of sustainable living, helping them form a deeper connection with cultural heritage and eco-conscious values<\/strong>, which are often missing in their daily lives due to displacement and trauma.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Social Interaction and Emotional Growth<\/h2>\n

Beyond education, the trip offered meaningful opportunities for social interaction<\/strong>, play, and teamwork. Group activities and shared experiences helped the children bond with peers, develop communication and cooperation skills<\/strong>, and most importantly, feel a sense of belonging<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\u0627\u0643\u062a\u0634\u0641<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Kuramaa recognizes that psychological and emotional support is essential for orphans\u2019 development. By combining learning with fun<\/strong>, we provide healing and growth in a safe, encouraging environment.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

A Day That Plants Seeds of Hope<\/h2>\n

This educational journey to Bader Hassoun Eco Village was more than a field trip \u2014 it was a day filled with learning, laughter, discovery, and purpose<\/strong>. It taught the children new skills, opened their minds to environmental responsibility, and made them feel proud of what they accomplished.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

At Kuramaa<\/strong><\/a>, we aim to create experiences that nurture hope<\/strong>, develop practical abilities, and help every orphaned child believe in their potential to succeed and contribute<\/strong> to a brighter future.<\/span><\/p>\n
