Additionally these centres provide a series of vocational training classes and life skill training on a number of things such as hairdressing, sewing, cooking, language classes as many people who have come to this centre have never studied another language before.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe centre is run by the Danish Refugee Council and the charity War Child, from the Netherlands.\u003cbr/\u003eAs well as training, the centre provides information for recently arrived refugees and it has a creche where children can be looked after while their parents are in training.\u003cbr/\u003eManar (wearing blue) is a refugee from the city of Homs in Syria.  She is training to be a chef and is talking to other people who have been taking part in cooking courses.  Since completing their training many of them have found jobs in local restaurants.\u003cbr/\u003eManar says she was a teacher back home but is now hoping to get a job as an assistant chef.  She says when she fled Homs she left without any of her qualifications and so cannot find teaching work in Lebanon.\u003cbr/\u003eManar says her father was killed after her house was burnt down and her husband is still missing.  She says she has a child to look after and will do what she can to make ends meet.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Even though I was a teacher in Syria I'm ready to work as an assistant chef in order to help my family.  I need to support my small child and mother as no one is supporting me. I'm trying to find a job but I'm afraid that Lebanese restaurants won't hire me.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe centre provides training for locals as well as refugees.\u003cbr/\u003eThirty per cent of the people doing courses at the centre are Lebanese as the region is poor and local people also need training and assistance.\u003cbr/\u003eThe influx of refugees over the past few years has caused local resentment, according to senior field co-ordinator from UNHCR, Frederic Cussigh.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Well there's a sense that, in Akkar particularly, many Lebanese are in an economical situation similar to the refugees in terms of limited incomes - at least they are in a country which has less trouble and generally they have accommodation.  Otherwise if you look at what they make at the end of the month this is sometimes very similar.  So they also feel a bit marginalised or left aside.\"\u003cbr/\u003eIt is hoped that by bringing the two communities together there will be greater understanding between the Syrian refugees and their Lebanese hosts.\u003cbr/\u003eHalba, northern Lebanon - 29 May, 2014\u003cbr/\u003e1.
