Photo of the Day: Respect, West Bank

Photo: Ned Colt/IRC

The International Rescue Committee is partnering with the UK-based charity Bidna Capoeira to teach capoeira — a challenging Afro-Brazilian sport and art form  — to at-risk children in West Bank refugee camps and schools. Proponents say it engenders a positive philosophy and outlook on life—one that is based on respect for the self and others.
