Kids Around the World partnered with Samaritan’s Purse to bless the children in Kabarto Camp with a playground. When the team arrived for the project it was just a dirt lot in the center of one of Kurdistan’s largest Yazidi Camps. Yazidis are temporarily living in Kabarto Camp after fleeing their homes from the conflicts taking place in Iraq. Despite their circumstances, hundreds of children show up to the dirt lot daily to interact with other displaced children and play. Just two years later this dirt lot has transformed into the site of an elementary school, children’s counseling center, and a parenting resource center… all of which bloomed out of the ground where a playground was planted. Laughter fills the air as these children enjoy the simple pleasures a playground brings.
