Psychosocial support does not always look like a counselling session. Sometimes it looks like a tin of paint, a paper stencil and a boy carefully filling in the outline of a figure on a corrugated fence while his friends cheer.

Students and interns from Jimma University and volunteers from PXL University College in Belgium joined pupils for an afternoon of art at the school. Children who rarely get to make anything of their own left their mark — literally — on the place where they learn.

Play, art, sport and music are part of every Ende Enat programme, because a child who has lost too much needs room to simply be a child.
