国产视频 celebrates children and the people who help them reach their potential

This year, 国产视频 is听celebrating not only children, but the people who help them to grow and reach their potential.听

In a new video, we听meet听Yola Ibrahim, a teacher at the听Mtein听School in Lebanon who, thanks to a听国产视频 project, was able to teach her pupils remotely when Covid-19 forced schools to shut.听听

国产视频淲ith Covid-19 we faced a crisis. We were required to teach听online听but we had no idea how,国产视频� she says.

Yola听is one of several teachers听at the school听who听were taught听how to move her lessons online听by 国产视频’s local partner, DOT Lebanon.听听

Among them was Yola国产视频檚 pupil Majd el-Halabi. His mother Jihan, like millions of parents around the world, feared that her son国产视频檚 education would suffer after Covid-19 forced schools to shut.听 听

But thanks to 国产视频国产视频檚 support, which continues today, Majd is thriving and doing well at school.听听

国产视频淚t国产视频檚 not my job to just teach the basic things. It is important for the child to feel I am connecting with them,国产视频� says Yola. 国产视频淭his is the most important message for a teacher: you need to communicate with children with love.国产视频澨�

Parents also received training sessions on how to support their children at home and hundreds of devices were delivered to pupils to learn remotely.听

国产视频国产视频檚 Tech Hub programme in Lebanon is funded by the players of People’s Postcode Lottery.听听

For almost a decade, 国产视频 has been supporting children in Lebanon, including many refugees from Syria who were forced to flee their homes because of the civil war.听听

We helped launch the ground-breaking听double-shift system听that allowed Syrian students to use Lebanese schools after Lebanese children had gone home in the early afternoon. We presented a plan to the United Nations General Assembly and the approach was taken up by the Lebanese government. The system is still in operation today, helping more than 300,000 refugees in Lebanon to receive an education.
