The oppression and pain left behind by the fallen regime in this البلاد have cast a long shadow, reaching even the coming generations of سوريا. For thousands of them, life has become unbearably difficult, and the roads ahead have closed off, leaving them unable to pursue their dreams and ambitions..

Among them is Abdulrahman, who was forced by his family’s financial hardship to leave school and go to work in search of a living to help support them. Yet his heart is still burdened by the image of a dream that continues to visit him: sitting in his classroom, holding his pencils, and sketching his dreams in his notebook. 
For Abdulrahman and others like him, we are launching the "Broken Childhood" campaign to help children who have dropped out of school return to where they belong: in their classroom seats, not in workshops.
