With turbulences in Libya still going on, many refugees pour into the refugee camp on the border of Tunisia every day. Shelter tents built by some volunteers especially for kids in the camp are known among the refugees as a merry garden for children, where some female volunteers from international aid organizations and child education experts are taking care of young refugees.More than 500 families are taking shelter in this refugee camp, with more than 160 kids up to 5 years old. Some international aid organizations built these special tents for kids in hope to offer a relatively relaxing environment for their physical and mental health.Many mothers bring their kids to these special tents after they heard of the garden. There are so many kids that the volunteers have to divide them into different groups according to their ages, so that the kid can come to learn and play around here in groups.
