Day 3: Kids‘ Play Day…



Mobile Clinic
The Jordanian Women’ Union (JWU) hosted today’s “mobile clinic” and Omar and I decided to distract refugee children from their traumatising experiences by playing games with them, while their parents were being treated. They painted pictures, we played games with them, puzzles etc. and their smiles and laughs are priceless. 





Just to give you an idea of what this NGO organises for the refugees…
  
 
We also helped in the translations, and managed (1) to put in touch a family with a legless boy with a US-Charity, which can hopefully sponsor prostheses for the boy, (2) to organise books for two poor refugee girls, used our skills and experience to structure and streamline the work of the NGO to support their fund-raising capacities.

First investment: vitamins and equipment for clinic from Day 2
We were so impressed by the work that the “clinic for refugees” does with the little means they have, and by the number of patients the doctors see, that we decided to support them with some necessary equipment and medicine. The lack of vitamins due to inappropriate (and insufficient) food caused anaemia in the little children’s bodies so that many of them had black rings under their eyes. We therefore decided to equip this refugees’ clinic with essential vitamins for children with anaemia and for pregnant women.
