My children are very happy to be here. It is very important. The children are under a lot of pressure and have not been social, but this activity has made them stronger. Our children are now talking and expressing themselves and I thank God. Psychologically they are getting better. We want our children to be able to express themsevles and we thank Relief (local partner organization) for that... I talk to my children now as if they are grown-up. They have more confidence. They are not afraid anymore... They have courage which is very important. I thank God.
