We found that most of them are very accepting.Although one time, the kids had just finished a DIY solar cooker project, and since the solar cookers are made of boxes, one team had a solar cooker that looked exactly like Al-Ka'ba... They even added a yellow strap at the middle to make it look more like Al-Ka'ba. After trying the projects out, that particular group managed to raise the temperature to the highest and cook delicious marshmallows. When we asked the others why this group won, some said they used more reflective material, some said they used more black paper and black absorbed heat... AND THEN ONE BOY JUMPED AND SAID 'IT'S BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE AL-KA'ABA'. That day was a bit disappointing to me personally, because that's not the damn scientific method!

But generally, kids are more open than older generations when it comes to democracy and human rights. The girls who participated in our latest project discussed the idea of finding life outside Earth and that life could have evolved on a distant planet very freely.

1. So far, we feel we have made an impact with all the kids we could reach, but we need to help more in the future.
2. Our org does offer internships and volunteers in any country if they happen to reside in Jordan atm or can help from outside Jordan. Our first internship student will arrive soon in Jordan from Sweden, so that's a yes.

Thank you so much for your support! Education is usually neglected and people seem to think there are more important things although it is the foundation of good, achieving, human beings!

The Syrian conflict and its effects on neighboring countries such as Jordan are major, and these children have nothing to do with any of that. They just want to grow up in a world where they're capable of finding some livelihood or at the very least pursue interests such as science. We do this because we enjoy helping, and we care about these children, and we assume there are others like us out there.

LOL, that is by far the funniest question! Neither. We give them scientific education (not sure if that is what you mean by Western). Science knows no religion or ideology. It is simply science.

Yes, many Syrian kids do not go to school anymore or get any proper education. And since the economy of Jordan has hit a wall recently, many schools don't have proper classrooms or resources to teach the children properly, not to mention around 600 students in highschool are illiterate, and turned in their final exam papers empty.

What we noticed really happens, is that the kids have hidden talents. They have great potential, but are rarely ever given the chance to unleash it and do projects themselves outside the boring school curriculum that even misses out on properly teaching evolution to 10th graders.

So the answer would be yes.
