At 10:30 AM on May 11^th, an opening ceremony was held for a temporary elementary school for child refugees of the Syrian Civil War residing in Lebanon. The school was funded by the round-off of the salaries of Tongil Group executives.

In order to provide the child refugees, whose lives were uprooted by Civil War and who were forced into Lebanon, with at least a basic elementary education, the project will provide two tents as classrooms for two classes, divided by age into groups under and above the age of seven, and will teach Arabic, English, Math and other subjects.

The Syrian refugees are very grateful for the executives and representatives of Tongil Group, who have enabled them to construct a school in their camp, and they expressed their thanks with applause and warm cheers.

In order to build the temporary elementary school, neighborhood citizens and university students volunteered their time painting desks and decorating the tents in order to create a good learning environment for the children. School teachers for each subject were recruited and teaching materials from private schools were sent in by plane in order to support the education of the children.

 Pencils and notebooks were also supplied to the children with requests that they concentrate on their educational careers. The 36 elementary school students were divided into two grades, and 18 students were placed in a kindergarten class as well.

We will continue to work hard to provide children with a systemized and standardized education. Please support us so that the children of the Middle East can grow up into an environment of peace.
