"Little Scientist"
Scientific and artistic creativity session for children in the House "Zyber Halluli"
Tirana, Albania
June-July, 2021
We all feel the need to help vulnerable children rise to the occasion and find a better life. The level of poverty and social barriers that orphans face is enormous and we seem powerless to stop it. Each of us can make a difference in the life of a child. All it takes is a little creativity, time and small sacrifices to make a big difference. If the purpose of the institution itself is to provide the right warmth by finding you a family and home, or educational education within the institution, our association seeks to engage children in comprehensive, artistic and scientific activities. Involving orphaned children in extracurricular educational activities is an easy way to teach them to socialize with each other. Scientific education activities aim to teach children to be problem solvers and to activate critical thinking to develop a curiosity about the world around them. These skills empower children to be confident in their ability to meet the challenges of life which is a life skill that can not be overestimated. Plus, they are a fun tool and a great way to create memories from their childhood.
