Sam’s House Lebanon (on Syrian border) 2018 – 2020<\/span><\/h3>\n
Sam’s House Lebanon was built in the Bekaa valley using a large tent structure with access to the Refugee camp.\u00a0 Due to the political issues in Lebanon there are no official Refugee camps for the Syrian’s, so they have no legal status and are considered as temporarily displaced people (tdp).\u00a0 Many of the Syrian children had to flee their homes in the middle of the night during attacks on their village, the stories that the children remember are heartbreaking.\u00a0 When traumatic events like this occur arrestment of healthy development can take place.<\/p>\n
Donna was able to provide training to three women on the ground and the Listening Stone programme was implemented.\u00a0 \u00a0We had 60 Syrian children aged 2.5 – 5 years old and there was both morning and afternoon sessions with a snack time.\u00a0 During the sessions which were themed to provide psyco – social support, children learnt songs, played games, did arts and crafts and free play.\u00a0 We worked with a local NGO on the ground who were empowering the local community and we were able to support the women who ran the sessions with a wage so that they could support and feed their own children.<\/p>\n
This project has come to an end, and we want to thank everyone who supported these children over the three years, it has allowed so many children to explore, express and unlock their trauma allowing them to develop into healthy adulthood.\u00a0 The Children had a fabulous graduation, and were delighted with their hats.<\/p>\n

Emergency Food Distribution (covid19) India\u00a0 2020<\/span><\/h3>\n
We trained 12 social workers in India in Nov 2019 through the organisation SP Srinivasan Educational Society SPSES).\u00a0 Unfortunately as they started the community based listening stone programme in the tribal villages, Covid19 hit India.\u00a0 The effects have been devastating, through your help \u00a31,500 was raised for emergency food distribution which was implemented through SPSES.<\/p>\n

Sam’s House Afghanistan 2010 – 2011<\/span><\/h3>\n
Sam\u2019s House Afghanistan was set up to support children living in a children\u2019s home in the centre of Kabul.\u00a0 Sams House was created by using a small mud and brick house with access to a large garden.\u00a0 The children had previously had no access to toys or art equipment, and rarely ventured out of the house where they were living in.\u00a0 Many of the children had lost parents and had seen loved ones killed when bombs had hit their homes and many were disabled.\u00a0\u00a0Over the time Sam\u2019s House was running we saw a significant change in the children.\u00a0 Some of the children became a lot more energetic and would bounce to their hearts content on the trampoline and race around the yard, and others would prefer the calm of our sensory area with bubble tubes and tactile toys.\u00a0 Others could suddenly paint circles and do things they had previously struggled to do.\u00a0 It was wonderful to see the children respond to play and arts and crafts in such a positive way.\u00a0 We had to unfortunately close Sam’s House due to the increased security threat, however another charity have been able to continue to support the children in their home and many are now able to access the local school.<\/p>\n

Living Stones\u00a0Pakistan\u00a0<\/span>2012-2014<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n
Floc supported the Living stones school in Okara Pakistan.<\/p>\n
The school provides education for some of the poor Christian children in this area.<\/p>\n
Floc helped provide uniforms and books and salaries for the teachers, many of the children are now in school and so are now less vulnerable, and have a hope and a future.<\/p>\n
Living Stones\u00a0Pakistan\u00a0<\/span>2014-2015<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n
We supported the Living stones Water project that helped provide clean water to residents in the Okara region.<\/p>\n
This project has helped to bring fresh water to the Muslim and Christian communities in Okara; not only has it helped bring fresh clean water, but it also helped build stronger relationships between the two communities. There had been on-going tensions between the communities and it was hoped the project would bring more peace and goodwill to the region, this is what happened.<\/p>\n

About Us <\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n
For the Love of a Child is a Scottish Christian faith based charity and was founded in 2010 by Tom and Donna Jennings following the tragic death of their little boy Samuel.<\/p>\n
Sam died suddenly at just five years old from heart failure whilst happily playing at a fruit farm. This tragedy was the catalyst for Tom and Donna to look for ways to bring hope and love into the lives of children and families who have also suffered with trauma and loss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
