Throughout the period of heavy bombing between September 23 and November 27, TASC was daily present with the displaced parents (mainly mothers) and children in three of the hosting centers in safer regions.
Trust circles were animated with the mothers, and craft work and Lego with the children. We shared the space, wept with those weeping and shared as many laughters as possible.
In one center in Mount-Lebanon, a group of teachers was identified and deeper sharing could be led.
This daily commitment knitted many friendships and allowed a deeper understanding of the displaced community, as we shared in depth and had cumulative dialogues and conversations.
The war was meant to create divisions among us Lebanese, but TASC transformed it into an opportunity to build more trust and everlasting mutual appreciation and respect.
The contact with the new friends and the visits continue as they left to their villages minutes after the cease-fire.
Very few photos were taken during these visits. We even made sure not to have any phones or cameras on us to assure the people we’re meeting and to respect their dignity during these abnormal times of displacement.
