Action Care assist in Jordan and Lebanon (July – August 2011)

Action Care assisted two of our affiliates by sending personnel to help with specific projects. Action Care staff made a ten day trip to Lebanon to assist Family Care Lebanon with the opening of a location which will serve as an aid distribution center and a venue to provide extracurricular classes for underprivileged children.
During the month of Ramadan, an Action Care representative assisted Equal Opportunity Initiative by participating in and coordinating corporate sponsorship for programs and Ramadan events hosted for 1,500 less privileged children, training programs for high school students, and a library for a girls’ juvenile center, the only one of its kind in the country.

Volunteering with [one of Action Care’s training programs] was a very unique experience. It was nice to see the shy but happy children opening up slowly to new things, games, people, language and crossing cultural barriers quickly.
