ABSTRACT
The Lebanese SOS Children’s Village Association had, and still has, a well-functioning Pedagogic Committee, which is comprised of a psychologist, a social welfare worker, a sociologist and a pediatrician, in addition to the SOS Children’s Village staff. The psychologist made regular visits to the SOS Children’s Villages and Youth Houses and held single consultations and group sessions. SOS Children’s Villages maintained two villages and two youth houses in Lebanon. During the war years, many children who had lost their parents or their mothers through military actions were accepted into SOS Children’s Villages. Girls, boys, SOS Mothers, family assistants, the secretary, the Village Director and his wife - everyone played. Tarnib is the name of the popular Lebanese card game we played. Girls, boys, SOS Mothers, family assistants, the secretary, the Village Director and his wife - everyone played.
