Since the start of this project, and over a period of three months, they have distributed mushrooms across Eastern Ghouta free of charge.

Those who were on the street were approached by the Friendship Tent educators who distributed condoms and lubrication gel in the hope of reducing the risks and as a means of getting close.

This was first demonstrated in the 1960 s, when Guatemalan researchers gave children in two randomly selected villages a nutritious porridge each day, and a much less nutritious fruit drink to children in two other villages.
