Mother's Day in Egypt is on March 21st. This year Not Guilty celebrated with a mother and child training about how to keep your children safe and how to teach them boundaries.
Each child drew his/ her mother and wrote a word for their mum. It was very emotional.
The mums and kids got to play bonding games.
There were 60 mums (and a few dads as well) and 80 kids.
At the end of that fun day, parents had a lot of comments: This is the first time I realize I can play with my kids and have fun; we usually sit while they play. Another father said I loved what they wrote about their mother: princess. One of the mothers proclaimed, thank you for reminding us that we can have fun with our kids.
This school year has been very stressful because of the political situation in Egypt: with the elections schools needed to finish their curriculum and exams one month early which put a lot of stress on the parents. Many were obliged to give private tutoring to help their children complete their schooling at such short notice.
Not Guilty will be performing sessions in nurseries and government orphanages.
To make this possible, a little will go a long way. Plan on donating a $10 recurring donation. Recurring donations help us plan for training in slum areas where the need for anti-sexual abuse training is enormous. We plan to train 600 kids and 200 parents from May until the end of September.
Help us make your dream come true.
