I have a wonderful feeling when I hear the sound of the perm pau (a music instrument for capoeira) and I feel as if I am traveling through time to Brazil and playing capoeira with the kids there. I really love capoeira
Nora 11 years old
Zainab, 28 years old,
displaced from the city of Aleppo, mother of five children, says that after we came to Raqqa, my children suffered a lot. We live in a tent on the outskirts of the neighborhood and the children do not go to school because their father does not want to send them to school. I always thought about the future of the children until I heard about capoeira activities and decided to I sent my children for training to know more about the neighborhood, as they have no friends, and after a good period of training, my children have many friends in the neighborhood. The team heard the story of my children and their father did not allow them to go to school. The team came to us and spoke with my husband and they persuaded him to send the children to school and provided the notebooks and Pens for children I am now very happy I hope my children have a better future
