The journey you've described, from your initial involvement with Catholic Relief Services in Odisha to your recent collaboration with the Jesuit Refugee Service in Afghanistan, highlights the positive impact that your efforts have had on communities affected by violence and displacement.
The use of trauma-informed processes, knowledge, skills, and a cooperative play approach to support children's development is inspiring. It's heartening to see the feedback from participants who have not only benefited from your program but have also taken these valuable lessons back to their families and communities.
Your commitment to adapting to the current circumstances by offering the program online, while acknowledging the preference for in-person interactions, reflects your flexibility and dedication to making a positive impact in any way possible.
Keep up the excellent work, and may your efforts continue to bring healing, hope, and empowerment to the lives of the children you serve in Afghanistan. The quote by Martin Buber, "Play is the exultation of the possible," beautifully captures the essence of your work, enabling children to explore and celebrate their potential through play.
