Our students have visited Al-Karamah Centre for rehabilitation in Al-Jalazone camp under the supervision of Ms. Manar Jaber and Mr. Anan Ghabbash. This visit allowed the students to meet children with disabilities and their families.

Students have engaged well in this activity, demonstrated a good ability in assessing the children, and set up a plan of the needed equipment (wheelchairs/sleeping system) in accordance to the abilities/disabilities of the children and their needs.
