Saida Summer Camps 2025 Kuwaitiya and Omaniah School
Empowering Students through Summer Camps: A Summer of Growth and Discovery This summer, CG Fund Funded the 2 Summer Camps in Saida that gave young students the chance to learn, grow and connect. At Kuwaitiya School, 60 students spent four enriching weeks of learning, creativity, and growth, while at Omaniah school, 75 students enjoyed a Five-week camp filled with discovery and creativity. The camp was designed not only as a place for education, but also as a space where young minds could connect, build friendships, and develop life skills. Every week, students engage in diverse sessions that enrich their skills, preparing them for both academic and personal success. From exploring the digital world to building communication skills, the camp gave each participant the chance to discover something new while enjoying a supportive and fun environment. Highlights from the Camp: Coding Coding was one of the highlights of the program, giving students hands-on experience with the basics of programming and problem-solving. Through interactive workshops, they learned how to think logically, design simple projects, and see technology as a tool for creativity and innovation. Netiquette Equally important was netiquette, where students explored the values of respectful and safe online behavior. In today’s digital age, this knowledge is vital. The sessions helped them understand how to communicate responsibly, protect their privacy, and use the internet in a positive way that reflects their character. English Classes The camp also strengthened English language skills through fun and practical lessons. Students practiced speaking, reading, and writing in ways that boosted both their confidence and fluency. These sessions supported their academic growth while opening doors to future opportunities. SEL Activities To balance learning with fun, the camp included a variety of activities that encouraged teamwork, creativity, and play. Whether it was group games, arts and crafts, or interactive challenges, these moments allowed students to relax, bond, and build friendships that will last beyond the summer camp. Basic Computer Literacy To strengthen their digital skills, students practiced essential computer skills. From using software confidently to managing files and navigating online platforms. These lessons gave them practical knowledge they can carry into school and future job opportunities.
Dar Al Mouaalmine Saida AND CRDP (Centre de Recherche et de Developpement Pedagogiques) to train 25 teachers in Scratch
CG Fund provided solar power, the networking infrastructure and the training. A five-week TIKANA – SCRATCH TRAINING course was conducted from February 2025 at the Teacher Training College in Saida. 25 teachers from 20 schools worked with two main trainers who delivered the course while four other trainers were responsible to follow up with the teachers. Each week the teachers followed a self-paced module asynchronously on their pace to discover the content, solve the activities, and learn scratch features and do practice exercises. It included an online weekly meeting with the teachers (synchronously) to follow up and answer all questions raised. Implementation was postponed due to the current situation in Lebanon. These newly trained teachers will introduce Scratch to the students at the start of the 2025-2026 academic year.
