Dear Donor
In a modest tent in one of the informal camps on the outskirts of the city of Soran in northern Syria, eight-year-old Wael lives with his mother. Wael lost his father 4 years ago due to cancer..
Wael’s mother says that her husband struggled against illness once and against poverty and hunger again, as my husband worked while he was sick in order to support us and he refused to buy any kind of medicine because our money was not enough for us. My husband passed away after struggling with the disease for a full year without treatment or medication, and Wael and I remained alone in this cruel world.
Wael says I work with my mother in picking agricultural crops so that we can provide basic needs. He continues with tears filling his eyes. I cannot go to school like the rest of my friends because I do not have the money to buy any school supplies. I also need to work with my mother because during the winter we often do not work due to heavy rains.
When we asked Wael about his dream, he answered without hesitation: I dream of going to school, completing my education, and becoming an agricultural engineer, taking care of lands and agricultural crops. I love working in agriculture because the green color emanating from the fields gives me hope for a better tomorrow.
Thanks to wonderful people like you, we were able to include Wael and his mother in the bread and food project in northern Syria, which will make Wael and his mother happy, as providing them with basic food supplies on an ongoing basis will contribute to giving Wael the opportunity to attend school this year.
Your giving may be small from your point of view, but in reality your small, continuous giving means a lot to tired families who do not have breadwinners.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your positive impact on the lives of the displaced and the tired in northern Syria.
