Through sports, games, nature exploration, and classroom learning, children can develop their skills, make up for educational gaps, and enjoy meaningful experiences with their peers.

Theme: Education, leisure activities and celebrations for children The objective of this work camp is also to lead children to discover others with their cultures and modes of life, to allow them to celebrate the end of the year and offer them ways of relaxing and expressing themselves other than those they usually have. This work camp also allows the liberation of their parents from their daily obligation to look after their children for the number of hours that these activities will last. It also involves the organization of sessions of support for school studies to enable students below average or average to catch up. This in order to make the holidays for end of year celebration useful.

FAGAD objective is to ensure participants work together in harmony without distinction of origin (Race, rank in society and religion) on our work camps. By way of this program each and every one brings their contribution to a defined site: in the course of their activities they will learn to know each other, accept each other and exchange with each another. In brief, the gift of themselves, their character and their qualities. Life in the different work camps is organized by the volunteers themselves: at the head an animator who must provide the animation and leadership for the group to enable it to achieve the targets fixed for it. He ensures the cohesion of the group and takes care to see all functions correctly done in respect of the activities. But he is not a magician waving his magic wand to ensure success. Success is the responsibility of each and every member of the group. Each volunteer must contribute effectively using his personal capacities and this is a vital element to achieve the targets fixed.
