Education is important for personal development, inclusion into
 
the society and work/employment

PROGRAM EVALUATION: 
MOTHERS SAY
 
"We have learned to look at things from a different angle, if it is difficult
for us, not to crochet and to solve the problem ourselves"
 
"I learned that I would not beat my son and that I would not educate him the old way, as
everyone did. I used to think that if a kid goes wrong, you have to beat him to keep him
from repeating. Now I've learned that it's not so’’
 
"It's very useful, we're in a camp like a prison. It helps us to live more
easily here. We talk about the problems we have ”
 
"We learned how to love our families, what to do when a kid has a problem, how to
get kids into school, how to be flexible and live better at camp with other cultures. We
have a lot of free time, it is important for us to be together, to talk, to become friends ”
