After finding out that there is a lack of entertaining Arabic contents for children on the Internet, Syrian actress working in Hollywood, Reem Ali Adeeb, decided to remedy this situation, to help parents overcome the plight of the "Covid-19" epidemic with their children.
Like many regions of the world, children in the Middle East find themselves locked at home because of the epidemic, without having many of the authentic Arabic contents online to entertain themselves, as enjoyable educational classes, and other activities.
Reem Ali Adeeb, who works as a animation artist with Warner Brothers Entertainment, and her sister Sandy, the university professor, decided to establish a channel through YouTube, under the title "Sasaprimo", to help Arabic-speaking children and their families who are under great pressure, to overcome the difficulties of quarantine from During simple lessons to learn drawing and paper folding art (origami), or by reading books for kids in Arabic. The artist, 34, who works from her home, explained, "There are huge amounts of English content for children online, but there are not many authentic Arabic contents." So the goal is to make the time they spend in front of the screens interactive and stimulating, by drawing with them, reading a story on them, or doing manual work. ”
The response so far has been very positive, with children enthusiastically sharing their drawings via e-mail, while parents thank this opportunity, which allows them to conduct business meetings online without being boycotted by their children, or emptying themselves a little. So far, Reem, her sister, and her nephew have completed seven videos, and they hope to continue their project even after the pandemic is over.
