The Child Centre – Gaza (CCG) has recently launched the third phase of the Non-curricular Activities for Orphaned Children of the 2014 Israeli War on Gaza project in the context of the Wajd Project. The project contributes to promoting innovation and creativity among these children.
The third phase of the project involves activities targeting children. In addition to a winter camp organised in January 2018, another summer camp is scheduled for the summer break.
In 2018 winter camp, children participated in a wide variety of cultural, artistic and recreational activities, which engaged children during their winter break. Most notably, activities included storytelling, artefacts, handicrafts, and popular and physical games. Major activities of the winter camp also featured creative writing, plastic arts, computer, IT, chess, theatre, choir, Dabke, Kung Fu, karate, table tennis, circus, and juggling.
Implemented by the CCG for the third year in a row, Wajd Project targeted 320 children in the 7-15 age group from across Gaza governorates.
Wajd Project is a distinctive programme that was launched by the A. M. Qattan Foundation and Qatar Fund for Development, the major donor of the project. With contributions from the Bank of Palestine, Hajj Hashem Ata al-Shawwa Charitable Endowment Fund, Wajd Project provides support to orphaned children of the 2014 Israeli war on Gaza.
Wajd Project aims at empowering orphaned children in the last Israeli war on Gaza to live in dignity, move on to accomplish their aspirations and hopes, and be active members in society.
