Just.Childhood

في هذا العيد، نتمنى أن تحمل الأيام القادمة شيئًا من الطمأنينة والسلام لكل طفل وكل عائلة.

وبينما نجتمع مع من نحب، تبقى قلوبنا مع أطفال لبنان وفلسطين، وتحديدًا غزة، الذين ما زالوا يعيشون الخوف والفقدان والحرمان كل يوم.

إلى جميع العائلات والأطفال والمجتمعات التي نعمل معها ونكبر معها يومًا بعد يوم، نتمنى لكم عيدًا يحمل لحظات من الفرح والدفء والأمل، رغم كل الظروف والتحديات.

نتمنى أن يكون العيد القادم أكثر أمانًا، وأكثر استقرارًا، وأكثر رحمة بالأطفال وبالعائلات التي تستحق أن تعيش بكرامة وسلام.

من أسرة Just.Childhood، عيد مبارك وكل عام وأنتم بخير

This holiday season, we hope the days ahead bring more peace and comfort to every child and every family.

As we gather with our loved ones, our hearts remain with the children of Lebanon and Palestine, especially Gaza, who continue to endure fear, loss, and hardship every day.

To all the families, children, and communities we work and grow with every day, we wish you a holiday filled with warmth, hope, and moments of joy despite all challenges.

We hope the next holiday arrives with more safety, stability, and dignity for every child and every family who deserves to live in peace.

From all of us at Just.Childhood, Eid Mubarak!

Yesterday, we set up in the open air — between the buildings of a collective shelter in Downtown Beirut — for the first time.

Around 54 children and young people were there, some still far from home, still waiting to return to the southern suburbs of Beirut or to their villages in South Lebanon. We brought movement, singing, and storytelling. Twenty of them wandered into the drama therapy session, drawn in by curiosity.

The space between the buildings became a room full of life. Parents sat close, watching, a few joining in.

This is what our emergency pedagogy work looks like right now: twice a week, our team travels to two different collective shelters — and continues the work back at our own centres. Together with and with the support of Notfallpädagogik - Freunde der Erziehungskunst Rudolf Steiners e.V.and Aktion Deutschland Hilft we are doing these mobile interventions — because the displacement is not over, and neither is the need.

According to official Lebanese government figures from 30 April 2026, over 119,000 people — more than 31,000 families — remain in shelters across the country.
