Die Habilitation Preschool der Ghassan Kanafani Cultural Foundation

Ein multidisziplinäres Habilitationszentrum für schwer behinderte Kinder im Palästinensischen Flüchtlingslager Mar Elias, Beirut, Libanon.

Lieber Besucher,

Seit längerer Zeit, unterstützen wir privat eine Tagestätte für behinderte  Kinder in Mar Elias.

Dieses Zentrum ist der einzige Ort im Libanon wo behinderte Kinder aus ärmsten Verhältnissen eine derartige Betreuung erhalten.

Hier werden sie von kompetenten MitarbeiterInnen hygienisch betreut, ihre Ernährung überwacht, mit Physiotherapien und individuell für die einzelnen Kinder gebauten Stühlen und Stehrahmen unterstützt.

Auch die Eltern der Kinder werden mit einbezogen. Sie werden für den täglichen Umgang mit Ihren Kindern geschult, unterstützt und auch psychologisch betreut.

Nach einer Reise in den Libanon im November 2022 sehen wir uns gedrängt, uns noch stärker für die Habilitation Preschool der GKCF einzusetzen.

Unter sehr schwierigen Umständen, in komplett chaotischem politischem Umfeld, ohne jegliche staatliche Unterstützung und daher auf Spenden angewiesen, tun Nahla und ihre MitstreiterInnen alles, um ihren Schützlingen und deren Familien das Leben lebenswerter zu machen.

Für die ärmsten im Lande gibt es keine andere ähnliche Organisation die behinderte Kleinkinder betreut.

Über die Jahre hinweg, konnte sich die Habilitation Preschool landesweit einen sehr guten Ruf erarbeiten. Vor allem auch in der Ausbildung der BetreuerInnen, der Ausbildung von Fachkräften im therapeutischen und sonderpädagogischen Interventionsbereich für Kinder mit besonderen Bedürfnissen.

Diese sehr schöne Anerkennung führt aber leider immer wieder dazu, dass bestens antrainierte MitarbeiterInnen von internationalen NGO’s und staatlichen Organisationen abgeworben werden. Natürlich kann Nahla mit Ihrem sehr beschränkten Budget nicht annähernd vergleichbare Löhne bezahlen, wie etablierte westliche NGO’s oder staatliche Organisationen.

Nahla, Gründerin und seit ungefähr dreissig Jahren die treibende Kraft hinter der Habilitation Preschool, kämpft selbst mit gesundheitlichen Problemen. Eine geeignete Person zu finden und anzutrainieren, die einmal ihre Rolle übernehmen kann ist essenziell für die Nachhaltigkeit dieser eindrücklichen Organisation.

Die GKCF hat einige internationale Sponsoren, die mit finanzieller Unterstützung helfen. Diese Spenden sind oft Einzelspenden für bestimmte Projekte (z.B. Einbau eines Lifts durch die japanische Regierung damit die behinderten Kinder nicht mehr die Treppe hochgetragen werden müssen).

Leider sind ein signifikanter Teil der normalen Spenden seit Beginn des Krieges in die Ukraine umgeleitet worden.

Dies hat die schon vorher sehr knappe finanzielle Situation dramatisch verschlechtert. Bei unserem Besuch im November war die Situation so extrem, dass zum Beispiel in der Werkstatt, wo aus Holz die Stühle und Stehrahmen für die Kinder massgeschneidert werden, nicht einmal mehr genügend Schrauben und Holz besorgt werden konnte.

Wir möchten versuchen, Nahla nicht mit grosszügigen Einzel-Spenden helfen, sondern sie mit zuverlässigem und regelmässigem monatlichem Einkommen für die Preschool zu unterstützen und damit einen Teil an die Löhne der MitarbeiterInnen zu sichern.

Unser erstes Ziel ist es in einem ersten Schritt ein monatliches Einkommen von USD 2000 zu sammeln. Das ist natürlich nicht genug, wird aber helfen zumindest einen Teil der reduzierten Einnahmen auszugleichen.

Alles von uns gesammelte Geld wird Nahla persönlich und in bar in US-Dollars übergeben und wird nur in der Habilitation Preschool eingesetzt.

Ein jährlicher Bericht und detaillierte Untersuchung, zeigen den Einfluss der Massnahmen auf die Kinder auf und wie das Geld verfügbare Geld eingesetzt wird.

Natürlich bekommen Sie als Spender eine Quittung von der GKCF für Ihre Gaben.

Eine Reise in den Libanon?

Sehr gerne organisieren wir und begleiten Sie auf einer Reise in den Libanon, Dort können Sie sich vor Ort über die Wirksamkeit Ihrer Spenden überzeugen.

Aber auch Ausflüge zu ausserordentlich interessanten historischen Orten und feines libanesisches Essen werden auf dem Programm stehen. 

Ralph, unser lokaler Führer, ist ein wandelndes Lexikon, voll von historischem und politischen Hintergrundwissen und vielen lokalen Anekdoten. Teilen Sie uns bitte mit, falls Sie an einer solchen Reise interessiert sind!

Ihre Unterstützung würde uns sehr freuen!

 

Bitte helfen Sie mit, Nahla und Ihr Team zu unterstützen. Rufen Sie uns an oder schreiben Sie uns. Sehr gerne beantworten wir Ihre Fragen und besprechen die Details mit Ihnen.

Wie Eltern das Zentrum erleben

AMEEN ABOU KATON – MOTHER

I had a regular delivery. No problems, and no special care.

Like every child, he liked playing, running, and had a normal speech development.

At the age of one and a half, and very sudden, we observed that he started, stereotypical daily repetitive movements. Instead of talking, he started screaming, day and night. He slept badly, for a few hours at night.

We went to a neurologist, and we consulted other doctors as well. It turned out, that Ameen, had Autism Spectrum Disorder.

At that time, I heard about a specialized school, “Dream Center”. Ameen was enrolled for 2 years. But we didn’t observe any development.

Then I heard about, the Ghassan Kanafani Cultural Center- Habilitation Preschool. We enrolled Ameen, on 19.9.2025. after a couple of months, we started seeing some progress, less hyperactivity, as well as less his screaming.

We are hoping, for total cure, with the specialists, in the Habilitation Preschool, who help parents to deal with this issue.

 

KHALIL AL HELOU – MOTHER

The first I knew, about Khalil’s problem, I didn’t accept the diagnosis. I had a period of denial, and later extreme anger. He was eight months old, at that time.

We started speech and psychomotor therapy.

I then went to the Family Consultant center, at Beit Atfal Al Somoud. They referred me, to Habilitation Preschool, of Ghassan Kanafani Cultural Foundation.

From the time Khalil started at the Habilitation Preschool, progress ensued. His progress was massive, around 80%.

They, also, were a great help to me.

 

SADDAM KHLAIL – MOTHER                        

I received the devastating news, about the problems of my son, from Dr. Nadia Koulialat. She advised me to contact the Habilitation Preschool of Ghassan Kanafani Cultural Foundation. She assured me, that my child will receive all therapy required, from the best of people.

I enrolled Khalil at the center. They are one of the best caregivers I have encountered. They are his 2nd family. I so trust them, they are full of love and tenderness. Because of them, I became aware, and more mature, about my child’s condition. Their advice, their follow-up, and their constant communication, for every important detail about Khalil, make me feel their devotion and care. Their care for us, as parents, is also remarkable. They provide psychological intervention and support group.

My deep thanks and respect, and words cannot really express my gratitude, the huge intervention and care is quite remarkable.

I hoped, that my son, will be cured. And I learned that there is no total cure, and there is minimum hope.

When we were followed-up, by the Habilitation Preschool, I started sensing mild hope, contentment, the power to go on. My child is progressing well.

 

DALA LIDDAWI – MOTHER

I first experienced with my daughter, Dalal, her unresponsiveness, when we called her. She underwent Otitis Media surgery. The doctor requested a hearing test

I talked to the doctor and discovered she has, Autism Spectrum Disorders.

My sister advised me to go to Habilitation Preschool of Ghassan Kanafani Cultural Foundation.

We worked with this center, from three years. It was a marvelous experience, their care for my son is excellent, and there has been significant progress.

October 2025: how we welcome new children

After last year’s chaos and confusion, the next working year started mid- September 2025. Registration ensued, and the professional team conducted their first interviews with parents, to gather information on the child’s functioning and characteristics at home. The interviews, discussed the parents’ worries for the child, at present, and what is their vision for the child, when they thought of enrolling him/her in our programs.

Children’s attendance started, at the first day of October 2025. Parents had to accompany their child. They have to come on daily basis, until the child feels safe and secure in his/her new surroundings. The idea of having parents, is to break child’s separation anxiety. The professional team works slowly and meticulously to gain the child’s trust. Parents sit, at the beginning adjacent to the child. And as days pass, the distance is increased, but the parent is still in the vicinity, so that child can still see and feel their presence.

Gradually, we observe, how children start bonding with the team and their peers. In the end, we ask the child, if it is ok for mother/father to go. The decision has to come from the child, not the staff, neither the parent. There should be no abrupt cut, but a decision, by the child, that I trust it here, and I am having more fun with others, than being alone at home.

When you read this, you might feel, that this is a long process, but in reality, it is very short.

When we started working, in 1986, it took us around two weeks to achieve a healthy child-parent separation. With time and more experience, we are observing, that most children, take less than a week to achieve this. Of-course, there are cases, that take longer, but they are the minority.

Afterwords, through the next eight months attendance, children attend independently, working hardly on acquiring skills that improves their quality of life.

The final message here, it is child’s decision to separate, which means taking control of their own lives. This is the first step in their future buildup of an autonomous responsible human being, regardless of limitations and hindrances.

August 2025: staff training

Beirut August the 14th, 2025

The Habilitation Preschool, of the Ghassan Kanafani Cultural Foundation, has conducted an In-House Workshop for its Staff, inclusive of professionals, administrators, and support staff, on the 8th of August, 2025. The Workshop was conducted based on the request by GIZ, Germany- through Taawon.

Requesting offers from 2 centers, who work on physical and mental well-being of the client, we received an offer from NouNaïDa / Yoga Therapy School which we accepted.

 

Workshop Design, Objective & Target Group

We are writing on behalf of NouNaïDa / Yoga Therapy School to propose a wellness activity tailored for employees who work closely with individuals with special needs, including therapists, administrators, and support workers.

This initiative aims to support these dedicated professionals in managing the daily stressors of their work by introducing them to practical tools for mental, physical, and emotional well-being. The program will include:

  • Gentle yoga therapy postures
  • Breathing and relaxation techniques
  • Cognitive-behavioral tools for stress management
  • Nutrition guidance for sustainable energy and emotional balance
  • Strategies for building a supportive daily routine

The session will be co-facilitated by:

  • Nawal Al Zoul, Nutritionist and Emotional Eating Therapist, CBT and Yoga Therapy Practitioner
  • Darine Saleh Houmani, Psychotherapist specialized in Psychotherapy through Yoga

The activity is designed for 16 participants, including 2 team members with special needs. It will take place over 4 hours, and will include a nourishing lunch meal to reinforce the principles of healthy eating.

We believe this experience will offer the staff a moment of restoration, connection, and empowerment — enabling them to better care for themselves and the communities they serve.

Workshop

The day started at 9:30 and ended at around 2:30, at the Habilitation Preschool center, in Mar Elias Refugee Camp in Beirut.

Out of 14 staff members, 12 attended.

As usual, it started by definitions and the essence of yoga, as a mode of intervention. During the process, the 2 trainees, linked the 5 life elements, nutrition and the human organs. Discussion ensued on the relationship and affect of all on the mental health of the person.

NouNaiDa school sent the following briefing:

NouNaiDa School was pleased to collaborate with the Ghassan Kanafani Cultural Organization in offering a specialized workshop for the organization’s employees, focused on promoting cognitive, mental, and nutritional well-being. The session, led by Darine and Nawal, featured an introduction to yoga therapy, demonstrations of breathing techniques, and guided yoga postures, all aimed at providing practical strategies for relieving psychological stress.

 

Feedback from Participants

The following bullet points are the feedback collected, after the end of the workshop, from the participants:

  • relaxing and brought comfort. Body felt lighter, less tense, serene, & less anxious. The activities foster a positive outlook, and helps one organize priorities in life
  • led us to be attentive to our inner feelings and emotional states
  • helped us to focus on ourselves, on our internal body and calm our minds
  • easy to follow and can be practiced by ourselves
  • it worked on enhancing the functioning of our sensory systems, sharpening their awareness and attentiveness
  • a big help to execute bodily postures that were difficult before to achieve
  • link between theory and practice was very smooth
  • the relaxing feeling continued even after the end of the workshop

 

 

Recommendations

  • There were no techniques to be followed during working with children. Maybe repeating such workshops will help us build our own repertoire of stress management to diffuse instant frustration
  • Some body postures were very difficult to execute. It is good to learn more how to lessen our bodily pain and reach gradually to more flexible muscles & joints

Juni 2025: impact of the war on funding of the center

BEIRUT 7.6.2025

HABILITAION PRESCHOOL- GKCF

It happens that you can’t find the proper or suitable word to describe the current situation. For us, although it is obvious, war, death, chaos, inflation, ….. still the impact of these is the thing that escapes you.

Throughout, the years, we had experienced shortage in support, due to different conflicts erupting in the world. From our civil war (1976-1990), several invasions, scarcity in food and money, Afghanistan war, Iraqi war, Syrian conflict, earth quakes, etc, etc, etc

This, had hard impact on us. Countries prefer relief and emergency aid in time of war. No place for development.

Although, we started this year in November 2024 (when war was still on), our programs were only for individual therapeutic intervention. People who can bring their child, and their area, is somewhat safe, the child will gain some training and his/her condition won’t deteriorate.

After the seize fire, we opened registration and all programs in the beginning of January 2025. Nothing in our project was supported. Our main input was from individuals, from several countries and we extend our sincere thanks to them.

Our friends in Switzerland, were generous enough to continue their support. We launched a campaign for individual funds. Sometimes in the form of Crowd Funding (internet), other times, from young nieces’ and nephews’ friends and colleagues.

Due to this new financial situation, we could not afford, to employee therapists, as full timers. Thus 4 therapists attended 3 days a week. 2 Special Educators left last year, and we couldn’t replace them

We are functioning now with 3 special educators, and one assistant, and 4 part time therapists. Number of children enrolled was affected. Not because of our staff problems only, but a lot of families were displaced, some left the country, etc, etc,. This “etc.” is a savior sometimes.

We looked for call for proposal, and we were lucky to allocate two from 2 different European countries. We are now in the process of waiting for their decision.

I hope, we won’t be forced, next year, to work with minimal staffing. Already we have a long waiting list of children to be enrolled.

We are optimistic, and we keep our fingers crossed.

Training for Pronuncation

Moustafa here, as we see in the video, is being trained to pronounce correctly different letters. And in order to be able to pronounce well, the child has to have control of different fine muscle groups in the oral cavity: so he had to make a circular shape and keep this shape and pronounce the sound “wa”, which is one letter in Arabic, with the breathing process inhaling, exhaling) .

We sometimes, use everyday objects, to motivate the child and give him the chance to see the movement of air from his mouth

Dezember 2024: the war we live

Das Jahr 2024 geht rasant zu Ende und wir konnten in den letzten Wochen ein paar Mal mit Nahla kommunizieren.

 Nahla bedankt sich sehr herzlich bei Euch, für Eure grosszügigen Spenden und wünscht Euch wunderbare Festtage und ein gutes 2025.

 Wir baten Nahla Anfang Dezember, einen kleinen Bericht zu schreiben, einerseits wie das Habilitationszentrum die schwierige Zeit in direktem Konflikt zwischen Hisbollah und Israel durchgestanden hat. Anderseits fragten wir Nahla auch, ob sie uns erzählen möchte, wie sie den Konflikt persönlich erlebt hat.

Vor allem ihr persönlicher Bericht (Teil 1) ist ziemlich harte Kost und hat uns gezeigt, dass es sehr einfach ist, von ferne eine neutrale Position zu beziehen. Für uns ist trotz aller Fernsehbilder nur sehr schlecht vorstellbar, wie sich Krieg in Wirklichkeit anfühlt. Nahlas Bericht hat uns deshalb betroffen gemacht.

Wir waren uns nicht sicher, ob wir den Bericht ‘publizieren’ sollten, aber hier ist er nun, unzensiert und unverändert. Direkt aus ihrer Feder.

News update 30. Oktober 2024

Die guten Nachrichten sind: das Palästinensische Flüchtlingslager Mar Elias, wo sich das Habilitationszentrum befindet, wurde bis anhin noch nicht direkt angegriffen und alle Beteiligten sind gemäss unserem Wissensstand bei guter Gesundheit! Das grosse Glück ist, dass das Lager Mitten in Beirut ist und keine politischen Aktivitäten erlaubt sind.

Viele der Eltern der Kinder, wohnen jedoch weiter im Süden und manche Familien wurden durch die Bomben vertrieben und sind nach Syrien geflüchtet.

Auch für Nahla ist die Situatiuon sehr schwierig. Sie lebt im Moment in einem Haus in den Bergen das kaum heizbar ist. Mit ihrer Assistentin versuchen sie das Haus wenigstens einigermassenwinterfest zu machen. Heute hat sie endlich eine Dieselheizung erhalten. Einmal in der Woche kommt der Fahrer von Beirut und versorgt die beiden mit Lebensmittel und dem Nötigsten.

An eine Betreuung der Kinder im Habilitationszentrum ist im Moment nicht zu denken. Nahla’s Team hat sich jedoch die Zeit zunutze gemacht um die nötigsten Reparaturen am Haus zu machen. Unsere letzte Spende hat für die Reparaturen sehr geholfen!

Mit Hilfe unserer fantastischen ‚Kurierin‘ haben wir es trotz allem geschafft, vor ein paar Tagen die Spende des 4. Quartals 2024 an Nahla zu überbringen.

Nahla hofft, und wir mit ihr, dass die Situation sich jetzt eher wieder etwas beruhigt und, dass das Zentrum in wenigen Wochen wieder geöffnet werden kann.

– Renovations-Arbeiten während dem das Zentrum wegen den Kriegshandlungen geschlossen bleibt

Art Activity

Aus der Zeit vor den neuesten Wirren, stammt dieser kurze Bericht von Nahla:

This group picture is the end result of a one- month project.

It started with exposing the children (with disability) to the paint, touching it, feeling it’s texture and malleability, seeing it color and change of shape.

Exploring the art utensils and different material.

1.       Playing with paint with bare hands, and sometimes body painting

2.       Grasping, the utensil, it’s use, and the end result of combining the work by the use of paint and brushes, for example.

3.       Through several session of playing with the paint and its tools. Children with disability were encouraged to mix different colors and different utensils in the same activity. (utensils included: papers, cardboards, brushes (different sizes), scissors, rolls, sponges, textile, cutting from magazine (pictures, colors, scenery, hands and feet, …)

In the end, there was an integration project:

1.       Children with and without disability had to co-jointly construct a piece of art. This activity was executed in GKCF’ Art Room, situated in Mar Elias Camp next to our preschool’s premises.

2.       The group consisted of: Children with Disability from our Habilitation Preschool, Children with no disability from Mar Elias Kindergarten, and some staff of both centers.

3.       You can pin-point our children, for they are wearing art costumes (nylon or cloth), while the other children did not wear any special garment. Children’s ages were also different.

(all children were children of Ghassan Kanafani Cultural Foundation)

Please note, that our children look much younger than they actually are. Generally speaking, the physical growth, of children with disability, do not follow the same standards as children with no disability.

 

The end result is the collage piece you see in the picture.

- Life skills & Lebensfreude

Seit dem letzten Update haben das GKCF Team mehrere Aktivitäten mit den Kindern durchführen können. Nebst dem üblichen Training von Life skills, haben sie auch einen Besuch im Tierpark und in einem Spielpark organisieren können. Ausser dem Spass den die Kinder bei diesen seltenen Gelegenheiten haben, sind diese Erfahrungen auch sehr wichtig für ihre Entwicklung.

TRAINING FOR BRUSHING BY THE SPEECH THERAPIST
(Nahla’s comment)

 Father being trained to brush child’s teeth. The child Y. has tactile sensitivity, manifested in his aversion to certain smells and the stimulation of the tongue by the brush. This latter movement facilitate vomiting.

The therapist explains, step by step, where the father should sit, how to hold the brush, how to hold the child’s body. he is asked to immerse the brush in milk. Y. has aversion to milk’s smell. To reduce this hypersensitivity, the father fills the brush with milk, helps the child open his mouth, and start brushing following the therapist’s direction.

 If we concentrate now on the child’s facial expressions, we can observe several feelings. A slight anxiety, an aversion, is revealed at the beginning. But through the therapist’s soft voice, providing direction for the father’s movement and approach, the father proceeds slowly, very perceptive of his child’s body movements, relaxing his hug on the child’s body. All this helps the child to relax and permit the father to execute one of the most repugnant sensation the child could feel, brushing with bristles the soft teeth, tongue and palate. Avoidance of stimulating the tongue is paramount.

 Through all this process, the child accepts all these movements and sensations with less anxious state than when the activity started.

 The father, on the other hand, learned hand on execution of activity with his child. This is an essential activity to keep teeth healthy, and father knows more how to overcome his child’s bodily & communication difficulties .

PHYSICAL THERAPY WITH CHILD
(Nahla’s comment)

T. is a child with vision impairment. We usually don’t have that much experience in the field of vision impairment, but we accepted T. for she was very small, and not used to being in a center with a group of children.

Our role here centered on stimulating the child’s tactile senses (touch, smell, taste).

The child was very receptive to learning. And we grabbed this opportunity to improve child’s sense of her body in space, and how to sense hindrances facing her in her environments. Since the child is thirsty for learning, we concentrate on developing the child’s skills, while the mother observes.

There is a continuous dialogue between the therapist and T.

T. describes what she feels in her skin at the sole of her feet, how her body parts are moving. Sometimes if a new movement is initiated, the therapist puts her hands on the child’s knees, in this example, to let the child connect symbolically the location of her knees, the movement and the language.

This is a lengthy process, and it was intense. Yet the child’s eagerness and enthusiasm empowered us all to go along with her.

T. will move next year to a specialized center for vision impairment.

It is worth noting that all other specialists worked, through the year, on her cognitive, communication social and emotional skills. Very importantly she was facilitated to become independent in self-care.

- Nahla's Jahresbericht 2023

Der jährliche Bericht von Nahla gibt einen detaillierten Überblick über die ausgeführten Aktivitäten des Habilitationszentrums, einen Einblick wie mit den Kindern gearbeitet wird, aus welchen Quellen das Zentrum finanziert wird und auch einen kleinen Seitenblick auf die Schwierigkeiten in Bezug auf die momentane politische Situation im Libanon.

- Training der Eltern

Zusätzlich zu der Betreuung der Kinder, ist die Unterstützung und das Training für die Eltern besonders wichtig für den langzeitlichen Erfolg der Arbeit des Habilitationszentrums.

Die Arbeit von Nahla und ihrem Team hilft den Eltern die Behinderung ihres Kindes besser zu verstehen und damit umzugehen.

Hier einige Eindrücke und Kommentare von Nahla zum Thema:

 

„The high presence of fathers in the training. It is a very rare occasion. This reveals the involvement and concern of fathers in their

children’s improvement.“

Men at work
One activity was, putting a lot of items in front of separate groups of participants. They have to follow a certain design from these material, or they can create their own.
We presented 3 awareness videos, we produced previously. Their titles were, Cerebral Palsy, Autism, & Working with parents.
The participants shared common experience and the interaction with the director, of giving her personal experience growing up as a disabled, and her parents attitudes and roles they played in her life.
