SPORT
From early on, sport was a key component of the Help Center’s development program, as there was a strong belief in the power of sports and its ability to empower our children and give them a sense of competence, and confidence in their capabilities.
Today, sport has gained an even greater importance, as we aim to raise awareness amongst our children about the importance of exercising to ensure healthy minds and bodies, and to avoid some of the health problems associated with lack of exercise and bad eating patterns. In 2009 the “Desert Gazelles” were formed- an exceptionally talented team comprised of Help Center and Dirat Ajdady sports enthusiasts, especially known for their love of basketball, football and swimming.

Applying music in lessons’ contents as well as in daily routine of school’s life, e.g., songs or simple rhythms, ensures children’s beneficial from the positive aspects of music in understanding and memorizing those lessons more easily.
