Sunday Schools in Syria are vastly oversubscribed due to internal displacement, and mass emigration means that most Sunday School teachers have left. Without Little Heroes, the children receive no counselling and very little spiritual nourishment. The parents trust the Awareness Foundation, and they recognise that Little Heroes offers their children both a disciplined environment and a rare opportunity to interact with their Christian peers. These children take full part in the activities and also receive counselling and support. In addition, every year, Muslim families send their children to Little Heroes. However, even local Bishops have chosen to take part in Little Heroes to support the children. All local denominations take part sadly, ecumenical activities are very rare in the Middle East due to a deep-seated mistrust between Christian denominations. Little Heroes, while Christian, is open to all. This encourages an attitude of reconciliation and a rebuilding of trust between the faiths. In this way, they build new bridges of respect and understanding with children of other faiths that they meet in their community. The Little Heroes, feeling valued and inspired once more, have the courage to make new friends and grow to become little peacemakers. Along the way, they must face their most dangerous challenge yet: the chilling prophecy of the titan’s curse.Much of the real impact of our work takes place after an event, when the children share their experiences with their families, and they talk to their classmates and others in their community. Now Percy and his friends, along with the Hunters of Artemis, have only a week to find the kidnapped goddess and solve the mystery of the monster she was hunting. An ancient monster has arisen - one rumored to be so powerful it could destroy Olympus - and Artemis, the only goddess who might know how to track it, is missing. The titan lord Kronos has devised his most treacherous plot yet, and the young heroes have just fallen prey. The demigods rush to the rescue to find that Grover has made an important discovery: two powerful half-bloods whose parentage is unknown. He knows he will need his powerful demigod allies at his side, his trusty bronze sword Riptide, and… a ride from his mom. When Percy Jackson gets an urgent distress call from his friend Grover, he immediately prepares for battle.
