Last Tuesday we listened to Ms. Keiko Tamura's lecture about a project called "Save the children" in Syria that she is participating in.
I learned that there is bombing in populated civilian areas and that is making children having sleeping disorders, depression, fear and adults are increasing in violence against children. This decreases self-esteem and makes children feel discrimination. I was very shocked to hear that so many children are in such a devastating environment. "Save the Children" are making a child friendly and secure place for children to regain their childhood and let their fear and stress go away. I felt how strong Ms. Keiko Tamura was because it must be hard to be in the same environment with children with such a harsh background. I wouldn't know what to do if I were her.
She said that "Save the Children" has a quote saying "NOT TO LET THEM GIVE UP THEIR FUTURES AND DREAMS". This quote impressed me and I agree exactly what this says. Every child should have a chance to be happy and be confident in themselves.
I am glad to have heard this lecture and I learned a lot from this. I think it is important for us to know about this project. People should not forget about this problem and know more about it and support this Syria problem.
