of fifty girls from various parts of Lebanon, Syria, and Palestine. All of them followed a daily program drawn up by the camp's supreme committee under the presidency of Miss Salwa Zghaib.
I visited the camp in the early morning, and great was my admiration for the Munjidat when I saw every one of them absorbed in the work of tidying and cleaning — this one sweeping out the tent, another chopping firewood to light the fire, and that one washing the dishes. No sooner had the morning bell rung than everything stood in order in its place; then the Munjidat raced off to take breakfast, and then to the morning assembly, where lectures and moral and scientific guidance were delivered to them, interspersed with discussions of various subjects between the Munjidat and the supreme committee.
The camp lasted about two weeks. Would that camps such as these might spread through all parts of the Arab world; that, then, would be a step forward toward a better and higher social life.
The craft lessons are of great importance, and here they are, listening to some instruction
The Munjidat at the morning assembly; here you see them singing hymns and songs
And sport, of course, has an ample share of the camp program
