FEBRUARY 2023 UPDATE
We all woke up on Monday, February 6th, to horrifying news regarding an earthquake in southeast Turkey and north Syria.
Some of you may know that I have dedicated the last six years to training adult refugees to become Montessori teachers and opening Montessori schools for orphan children in Jordan and Turkey. Thank God I was successful! Now I have a big group of trained Montessori teachers that are running a few schools solely dedicated to flykting children.
One of my biggest schools is located in south Turkey, an area that was heavily impacted by the earthquake. Fortunately, my school is still standing but, sadly, many people in the neighbourhood lost their lives and homes. People are homeless and hungry in severely cold weather.
There are also more people suffering in north Syria, where I have a few trained teachers. We were planning to start a school in one of the camps there, but the earthquake hit and all plans have to be changed.
