This week NLF volunteers wrapped up a month-long program of activities to celebrate the month of Ramadan with Libyan refugees at the Hana Naas Center for Women and Children in Tataouine.  After breaking their fast, people came together at the center for various health and wellness activities including exercise classes, group therapy discussions, and arts & crafts.  The program concluded this week with a talent show, cooking competition, art exhibit, and soccer tournament. Many families are returning home as the Libyan-Tunisian border becomes secure, and peace returns to western cities and towns in Libya. The New Libya Foundation is exploring plans to move the Hana Naas Center to Libya once the country is stabilized, to continue to provide psycho-social support to women and children through the coming recovery period.
