[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] A partire da ottobre 2023, le tensioni lungo il confine libanese con Israele hanno scatenato un conflitto aperto, con conseguenze devastanti per la popolazione. I bombardamenti israeliani hanno causato 589 morti e 2.000 feriti, distrutto oltre 4.000 abitazioni civili e danneggiato seriamente altre 20.000. Più di 1 milione di persone sono state costrette a lasciare le loro case e le loro attività lavorative, cercando rifugio in aree del Libano ritenute più sicure, come riportato dalle Nazioni Unite e dalle autorità libanesi. La popolazione del sud del Libano e della valle della Beqaa vive nel terrore degli attacchi e nel disagio economico dovuto alla chiusura delle attività produttive. La Fondazione, che opera nel sud del Libano dal 2016 con un progetto finanziato dall'AICS (Agenzia Italiana per la Cooperazione allo Sviluppo), sostiene le famiglie di piccoli contadini e lavoratori agricoli, puntando a rafforzare le coltivazioni di agrumi e frutta tropicale per promuovere l'economia...

On Thursday, Sept. 19, FGP2 celebrated an important milestone for a number of guests of reception centers in Tuscany: 6 of them obtained the Italian language diploma "CILS A2 Integrazione." This is a crucial step toward integration and social inclusion as it provides students with useful tools to improve their autonomy and participation in the community. The elegant and excited students celebrated with joy, showing their commitment to learning the Italian language. Special thanks went to Francesco, course leader, for his passion and dedication in leading the group. During the event, Benedetta Manocchio, founder of the "iLOL" school that made the graduations possible, thanked the students, expressing pride in their journey. She, in addition, shared a touching memory from a few years ago when she worked at the center as a teacher. During a class, the crying of an infant interrupted the course and to allow the...

Taking in families, in our case of asylum seekers, also means having to take care of children, and this is precisely the biggest, but also the most interesting challenge we face: the youngest children represent, in fact, the future of the nuclei we host and their great opportunity to improve their situation and build a very different tomorrow from what their lives have been so far. This is why one of the priorities of the John Paul II Foundation has always been the schooling of our children. The results obtained are truly noteworthy: over the years, the work of the operators has made it possible to create a fruitful collaboration with the schools of Montevarchi and Fiesole in Tuscany that sees a constant dialogue between operators, teachers and educators. This year as many as 9 children will be enrolled in Montevarchi schools, while in Fiesole there will be 14. This is a step...

After the summer vacation of 2023, we had started the new school year with great enthusiasm, organizing creative teaching activities to engage our hearing-impaired pupils in the learning process. Unfortunately, after only a month, we had to close the school due to the ongoing war. Despite the difficulties, in January, we bravely reopened the school even though due to the conflict and road restrictions, only a few pupils were able to return to the Institute, because many of them come from countries and villages far from Bethlehem and cannot pass the strict controls around them. This situation caused us great pain and frustration, but we did not give up. We met with the children's families and decided to start again, slightly adjusting the teaching disciplines to make up for lost time and continue the training-education of our deaf children. After the Christmas holidays, it was heartwarming to see all the pupils return to...

The "Inclusi di diritto!" project, funded by the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation, has been underway in Iraq since September 2022. The project takes place in the cities of Basra and Baghdad and involves three preschools accommodating 665 boys and girls. The main result was to have strengthened the skills of 62 teachers, providing them with the necessary tools to stimulate and accompany children in the early years, which are crucial for physical, mental and behavioral development. The project also improved the educational environment in Basra's preschools by making children's learning more appropriate, thanks to innovative applied teaching methodologies and improved educational environments and related materials. In an Iraq devastated by years of armed conflict, children have great difficulty in accessing quality education. This is predominantly provided by Christian schools, which, as they do not receive government support, are inaccessible...
