Within the scope of psychosocial support and training activities, a volunteer team of 10-12 people stayed in the village for 2-3 weeks and supported the construction.

Except for the construction time, every hour was reserved for the children in the village, and during these periods, psychosocial support and education activities were carried out with the children by doing art and play activities. During these activities, children were educated about neglect and abuse, workshops on nonviolent communication were also conducted. The team was able to cope with all the difficulties encountered in the village as a whole by helping and supporting each other; this set an important example for local people and children in the context of nonviolent communication.

Families were enthusiastic about sending their children to school because they took our team there as a role model and they wanted to see their children educated like them, and for families who did not send their children to school, the fact that the newly built school was close to their homes became a great facilitator, and the situation of not sending children to school by using weather conditions as an excuse was eliminated and the denial of access to education for children in the region has ended.
