Damascus (ST): The Ministry of Education honored 15 male and female war-wounded students who lost one of their lower or upper limbs during the unjust war on Syria. They were given prosthetic limbs at the Masana Medical Center.

She said: We are currently working on art therapy so that the child can accept the prosthesis within his body as a new guest.We work on   strengthening his self-confidence through music and the arts, indicating that psychological and medical care has been provided to 240 children since the opening of the center, which is not only concerned with fitting limbs, but also  focuses on psycho-motor and sensory rehabilitation after its installation.

The Minister of Education, Dr. Darem Tabaa, stressed during the honoring ceremony the need to support these children, provide care for them, and prepare them to contribute to building the country, adding: disability does not lie in the loss of a member, but rather lies in the way of thinking, and just as science is the basis for the development of society,  will is what makes a person .
