Supergirls is just one of many programs at Collateral Repair Project that work to heal and empower young refugees, particularly young girls who are just beginning to form their identity. Structure is an important part of overcoming trauma and developing skills. SuperGirls includes focused games which help provide structure, which the lives of refugee children so often lack. They will participate in Backgammon, checkers, and chess. One particular activity of the younger age group is building towers and other designs out of blocks.
The curriculum will also include a cultural component. During the duration of this class, the girls will learn the importance of their names, music, and cooking. Beryl explained in her SuperGirls volunteer training that, “It makes children feel proud to have others call them by name and it helps with developing or maintaining self-confidence”.
The goal is to help these girls to become their “best selves so they can learn” as Beryl puts it. These girls are full of life, filling the classroom with energy, curiosity, and much laughter. Though their past may have been traumatic, their future will be full of hope with the new life-skills learned at SuperGirls.
