A Syrian Girl’s Story

Sara is 13 years old. Her home was destroyed by the fighting. She couldn’t go to school or play with her friends outside because of the violence. They were even hitting schools and many children died or were injured. This made them stop going to school and ceased their education. No one could go to school. It was very dangerous. This made her sad. They left Syria because of the explosions even though they didn’t want to leave their home.

What does she remember? People being hurt. People dying in front of her very eyes. She was scared that the same thing will happen to her and her family. She felt fear. She said she felt as though all of Syria has been destroyed. Her home. Gone.
