We use sports, games/play as a metaphor to talk about social issues so that coaches build awareness to children on these topics outside the classroom with fun. This training focus is to train the coaches on the curriculum which is about the rights of children, especially refugee children.
Dignity for Children Foundation's philosophy is one child at a time, they work with refugee children in collaboration with UNHCR. They empower children to break free from the cycle of poverty through quality education and care.
The main component is education, enterprises, Farm academics, and support program. You can find more information by reading the website - https://dignityforchildren.org
Today was an office tour day for me and my colleague. We first sat in their café for breakfast and you can read in the picture (above) how it is not just a café but a training place for youth.
Amazing breakfast I had in the Dignity café
Dignity works towards UN SDG 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, and 15. I witnessed how effective and quality programs they are running to achieve all these targets.
Below the photo is a flower that they use for a very colorful cold tea and it looks amazing. Dignity has its garden which is again run by youth and has so many useful leaves that they use in the café.
We visited children, their classrooms, and teachers with whom I have not clicked pictures. Why I stopped clicking children's pictures and sharing them on social media is another topic that I will write about someday and share with all of you. That does not mean I do not click and share children's pictures, but when to click or not to click and share it on social media is something that is a learning space for all of us in today's life when we are so active in these platforms.
We visited the enterprises' side of the Dignity Foundation. and found how old toddlers have grown up learning and now leading these in this organisation and representing themselves. Below are some pictures to show their work.

More work by children and when someone by those items some percentage goes to children.
