Summary[edit]

Description
English: Zahra, a teacher from Syria, is now working in a UNICEF/Mercy Corps Makani ("MySpace") centre for young children in the Azraq camp for Syrian refugees in northern Jordan.

"I've been here for just over a year", she says. "The situation in Syria just became so bad that we finally had to leave".

"I wasn't able to do anything at first for a few months, but then I heard about the Makani project and got accepted onto a training course. I’ve now spent nearly 4 months teaching the kids here".

"In the life skills course we're running right now, we are teaching the kids arts and crafts, including how to decorate the room, lantern making and butterfly making.

"But it also includes providing psycho-social support for them. I saw the pressures the children underwent in Syria, and that's why it's important that we provide them with a safe space to work through their trauma, and work through the terror they faced."

"I hope that we can educate a stronger generation for the future".
