Just another day at one of our youth centres in Hawala.
For someone who is not too good with children and has always known teaching will not be her cup of tea, I’m pleasantly surprised by how much I’m enjoying teaching and just being around these beautiful children. A typical afternoon at the youth centre starts with a prayer, followed by cleaning the space together, washing up, doing some yoga and talking about the day. The more time I spend with them, the more I realize how wrong I’ve been and can’t wait to come back the next day. From helping the kids with their homework, to painting earthen pots or simply being silly, it has come to my gen that a child’s smile is truly one of life’s great blessings.
