encourage children to stay in school while learning useful vocational
skills and improving their communication and interpersonal skills
through the creation of Colors of Life, the bimonthly e-magazine. A
trained psychologist assesses each participant on his physical and
mental abilities at the beginning of the program. Currently, the
children take part in a one-hour session twice a week. At the
beginning of the program, the teaching staff takes on a facilitating
role to lead the teens to write or draw based on a given topic. The
topics are chosen by a psychologist on purpose to encourage the
participants to open their mind by exploring their inner-self and to
get them to be in a more relaxing and comfortable mode. Their artwork
will be featured in the Colors of Life e-magazine, which will be a
motivation for the participants as well as giving them a sense of
pride and increase their self-confidence.

copies for each issue;
3. Enhance the computer and software skills for each participant;
4. Improve the participants' self-confidence and self-esteem;
5. Develop the participants' interpersonal and communication skills;
6. Increase mutual understanding and respects through direct
interactions with disabled and non-disabled children;
7. Raise public awareness of the benefits of using technology and
creative arts to improve the lives of people with disabilities through
a series of traditional and viral media campaigns.
