In the meanwhile the four of us are back in the Netherlands! We can look back on eight special and learn full weeks, with lots of new experiences and lovely friends! Thanks @26lettersproject @loyac.lebanon and @lebanesealternativelearning for making this possible! ♥️ #Aiesecnetherlands #Nourproject #Studentsbridginggaps

In five weeks Jade and Nicole became not only customers, but also friends with the owners of our favorite local vegetable store in Sanayeh, Beirut. Even when we could go to another one nearby our apartment, we always went here because the connection we got with the family was worth walking a couple meters more. We could barely understand them due to the language barrier, but luckily the son named Wassim was able to speak English. We practiced our Arabic with them, and the father tried to speak English with us. Unfortunately, this family that had to fly from Syria during the war, is not able to pay for education for their children. Our conversations were limited, but the smiles on their faces and the hugs we got from the children were enough to create a special relationship. Wissam knew I had an obsession for watermelon, so he always made sure he gave me the best one left. I didn’t even have to ask; he knew I would get one every time I came and he always asked me politely if the last one I got was good. When we come back, we hope to see this family again and that they have found a way to support their smart children who should have the possibility to go to school. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🎒🌎🇱🇧 #localfriends #sanaya #buildingglobalfriendship #foreverinourhearts #favoritefamily #beirut #lebanon #studentsbridginggaps #nourproject

Two kids of the school told me they knew a hairdresser I could go to, discovered a whole new part of town with them! #sabra #beirut #lebanon #travel #city #photography #studentsbridginggaps #mynour

It's never too early to educate children on the importance of our environment, especially in a polluted country like Lebanon. We did a 'camp clean up' and made a bottle garden for the school. I was surprised about the knowledge they actually already had and the passion they put in the activities. (photos by @evivogel ) @hjrampen @loyac.lebanon @loyac_mob_art #mynour #lebanon
