Hi, I am Marco and I am responsible for COOPI projects in the Middle East.
Recently I was in the Mosul Region where we want to build 3 more schools for children who are victims of the Iraq war.
But I want to tell you better about our schools and my visit.Younger children attend mixed classes, while the older ones are divided into male and female classes. All our students are helped and followed psychologically and participate in the recreational activities organized by COOPI.
Schools are equipped with bathrooms (and this helps a lot girls who have special needs and not always in their homes have a real bathroom) and heating.The lessons are divided into morning and afternoon shifts in order to give the opportunity to study to all the children of the area. All new schools are located about 25 km from Mosul. Before these schools the children had to pay public transport to reach the nearest one and for this reason many gave up because they could not afford it. Now, thanks to you, they have an alternative next home and in the coming months many other students will be able to return to school. Thanks for being by our side.
