The demonstrations have remained peaceful over the first weeks but some of the ruling parties have recently tried to stir up sectarian hatred. All banks, schools and universities have been closed for several weeks and most highways are blocked. We have seen many protests in Beirut over the last years, but never it spread to all regions of the country.

The whole country is blocked and more than a quarter of the entire population joined the protests against the ruling class of politicians. It is the start of our 8th school year and there has not been one school day without classes at our Peace Centre.ДЇor more than two months, the Lebanese people are in the streets. In this year, like in the past, we are relying exclusively on private small donations to bring the children we serve through the Covid Winter. In 2019, we spent more than в‚¬100,000 for our Educational Programme, also thanks to a grant we received from SlovakAid. In the school-year 2019-20, we opened a third informal camp school in vicinity of Kousha and we could maintain daily educational classes for more than 250 children in four different locations of the Akkar Governorate. The biggest part of our budget is dedicated to education. Lebanese schools have finally adapted to the Covid-19 pandemic with online classes, but almost none of the Syrian refugee children has access to electronic devices and affordable internet. We started collecting used tablets and laptop computers to facilitate distant learning in this academic year. The needs are enormous and we need your help for keeping our class rooms open, both virtually and in real life. The Covid-19 pandemic came only on top of political turmoil at home and in neighbouring Syria and a dramatic economic meltdown with more than 400% inflation per year.
