In Ein El-Hilweh refugee camp, home to 75.000 Palestinians. Story telling, a great hit with some of the girls. A volunteer reads stories to the children who for a short time forget where they are. It is summer break in the UNWRA school and Naba'a runs Play and Learn sessions in the empty school for vulnerable children. They aim is to give them a safe space to express themselves with out fear of repression. Developmental Action Without Borders(Naba'a) work in Palestinian refugee camps across Lebanon to help children in the camps. The camps are densely over-crowded and many of the children are 4th generation refugees living in Lebanon with no citizenship or rights and under immense pressure. Naba'a is a mix of Palestinians and Lebanese and aim to give children a sense of security and freedom to express their needs and rights.Naba'a operates in communities governed by a multitude of political parties and religious groups and Naba'a keeps a strict independed line from any affiliation with any groups.
