Earlier this year, the "Karmel Club for Sports, Culture and Social Activities" contacted Shams Jordan as to find funds in order to rehabilitate an area (which is part of the club), and transform it into a Playground for kids and teenagers. The sports club is located in the Plaestinian refugee camp of Al Husn, in the surroundings of Irbid. 

UNESCO Jordan accepted to fund the project, allocating to Shams Jordan the sum of 25 000 JD. The target population of the playground will potentially reach 4000 kids of all ages.

The project is currently under way, and is aimed at being completed by the 31st of January 2012
