We started the day with fun activities from drawing to singing and dancing together. We even played soccer and read together. We discussed with them their problems, dreams and wishes. Our members were mesmerized by the talent of these kids. The children were full of energy, joy and love . They taught us how to keep up the big smile no matter what. We brought them a cake, yet they were the sugar of the day. We brought them some gifts, yet they were the real gift! Thank you SOS Mahres forreminding us what real life is about.” Yasmine Chelli Secretary at IEEE ENIS student branch
