During a brief pause between the sirens, the girls at the Afikei Ohr Youth Village took part in a special painting and art programme, creating a moment of creativity, calm, and encouragement in an otherwise tense period.
Gathered together with paints, brushes, and canvases, the girls were able to step away, even if only for a short while, from the uncertainty around them. Through colour and creativity, they expressed their feelings, shared laughter, and supported one another in a safe and nurturing space.
At Afikei Ohr, moments like these are more than just activities. They provide an emotional outlet, helping the girls process their experiences while strengthening their sense of connection and resilience. Art offers a powerful way to communicate when words can feel difficult, and it reminds the girls that their voices and emotions matter.
Even during challenging days, these small pockets of normality make a meaningful difference. Moments of colour, creativity, and care help restore a sense of calm and remind every girl that she is surrounded by support, strength, and a community that stands beside her.
