The period in which post-war institutions continue to reconstruct any city and rehabilitate its public and private facilities, including the schools that form the main brick in any city, is often prolonged.

At present, Save the Children” organization do rehabilitates schools in Sri Kanieh( Ras al-Ain) which has been exposed to heavy attacks and witnessed violent military clashes three years ago.

(Bave Belend, member of Organizations Affairs Office in Archives and Media Department declared to Welat FM that: ” Save the Children, has applied to rehabilitate two schools (Usama Ben Zaid) Preparatory School and Alouk Al-Sharqi School. The project includes renovating the schools by repairing doors and windows and painting the two schools that were damaged during the clashes took place in the city of Sri Kanieh “, adding that: ” The municipality of Sri Kanieh and the responsible authorities in the schools have coordinated with the organization to be familiar with its work, which undertook to terminate the project within a month and a half as a maximum.”

The war had left many buildings and schools destroyed Sri Kanieh, along with the displacement of the population to the Turkish borders.

Mahmoud Aboush, a former student at (Osama Ben Zaid) School, said to Welat FM: ” Rehabilitating my school again is an excellent step, after the clashes the city witnessed, my schools was dramatically affected where it was destroyed and became a military headquarters for a while. However, now I see that this rehabilitation allows the school to contain more students. Adding that “the school is close to the entrance of the city, which facilitates transportations in the city as well.”

The war overshadows everything and although the area was heavily affected but the desire to rehabilitate the city and its schools remains a priority for residents of the city of Sri Kanieh and its organizations that have already embarked on this work to bring it back better than it was before the war.
