With help from Anglican Aid supporters, the Good Shepherd School provides free schooling for Syrian refugee kids aged between 4 and 17 years old. Some are brought to school on buses that pick them up from the fields where they would otherwise be working, from 10 villages around the school. The school follows the Lebanese curriculum, and also teaches Bible stories and songs to the kids.
Alongside this education for the future, the school provides household items to very needy families – such as food hampers, blankets, medicine, and soap for sanitation.
Over the years the school has grown from 50 kids to more than 300 students – although attendance varies due to seasonal work that even children must participate in so that their families can support themselves.
Emil told us, “We give them tools to face the future. We tell them they have a father in heaven. In time, they are different. I cannot explain how joyful they become.”
