   EIN EL HELWEH REFUGEE CAMP

(-PREVIOUS NEXT-)
Girls study at the Marj Ben Amer school in the Ein el Helweh Palestinian camp in Lebanon. The school is administered by the United Nations [UNRWA]. There are often as many as 50 students in each class. The children seem well disciplined and motivated, despite the fact that there are few educational opportunities for them after they complete secondary school in the camp. Classes in the secondary schools are conducted in English.
