Today we got the pleasure of visiting Oun Help Center, a privately funded school for special needs children. It was founded in 1993, by the late Sh. Ahmed Juffali, and his spouse, Mrs. Suad Husseini-Juffali. These people did not have special needs children of their own, but saw neighbor children have to go by their house to receive services outside of the area. This is an amazing, state-of-the-art school. The students receive training in many areas: subjects, living skills, and the arts. The artwork and variance of choices is remarkable. The little girl on the left in the picture was talking with me and showing what she was having for snack. The little boy was saying, "What's up!" as he made his hand gestures. Some of the student artwork is showcased at the school. The last is a sign for our abaya wearing safety on the escalator at the Red Sea Mall.

This is a part of the trip I would have been really interested in...seeing the schools. Did you see other schools too? It looks like you're having so much fun!
This must be a great experience!
