About the local hosting organization
The AMSEI association opened a center called AL BASMA where they welcome children from 4 to 20 years old during the day, offer them a diversified range of activities and take charge of their medical needs.
AMSEI also put in place “integrated classes” in partnership with public schools where they provide individual support to kids that are able to attend regular classes.
Concrete activities of the association:
• Organize educative, sportive, artistic, manual and cultural activities with the children.
• Life council and regular meetings with the families to orient the kids toward adapted activities.
• Medical support and follow-up of the children.
The children are divided into 4 age groups: 4 to 7, 8 to 11, 12 to 16, 17 to 20.
• With the younger groups, the main focus is personal development, socialization and scholar integration.
• With the older groups, the main focus is the development of lucrative activities and socio-professional integration.
• With the kids who suffer from heavy and cumulated disabilities, the main focus is the development of their sensorial skills and autonomy and socialization skills.
