As part of the Bioviva For Life “Special Lebanon” project in partnership with Bioviva, LEM Les Enfants de la Méditerranée and Fondation d´entreprise CMA CGM, 36,000 educational games on the theme “Nature Challenges” are being donated to Lebanese and displaced refugee children in Lebanon.
A ceremony gathering all benefiting NGOs and humanitarian organisations took place at L’ecole du Cirque Cirquenciel on Friday the 29th of March, where we were all granted a unique show featuring experienced children of all ages displaying athletic and fun skills. Cirquenciel is a social circus, part of the arcenciel Youth empowerment project promoting peace through circus arts. It is founded on the belief that every human being has the right to grow and develop in a friendly environment.
Within that context, the Order of Malta Lebanon will benefit from 2,000 games that will be redistributed to our primary health care centers across the country catering to both the Lebanese children and displaced refugees of ages varying between 4 and 10 years old. Games will be handed over to the psychologists at our centers to engage the children in memory stimulation, knowledge acquisition and self-esteem building; and to the Youth of the Order to use within the children camps and outings organized throughout the year.
As importantly, all the Bioviva For Life games are produced with eco-friendly material enabling all children to better grasp the importance of the environment intrinsic to their upbringing.
To ensure the success of the project, Bioviva For Life held a tutorial session clarifying the handling and rules of those educational games. They highlighted the collaborative, inclusive and multi-usage aspect of the games and the means to integrate those within the programs of each associations’ projects. We take this opportunity to thank Bioviva For Life and its partners for this great initiative and for supporting the education of children of the middle east.
