Sharing some of the stories of Syrians: stories of lost homes, lost lives -- and hope -- after five years of war. Hanine
was in middle school in Damascus when the war started. Now 17,
she
works in a pastry shop in Lebanon. “I became stronger,” she says. “I
feel that I lost my femininity. I’m not the girl who takes care of how
she looks, or puts on make-up anymore. I don’t think about things like
this at all now. I forgot Hanine, the girl. I have become more
practical. I am Hanine the laborer now.” Today, Hanine is the sole
breadwinner in her family. But she doesn’t plan on staying in Lebanon
for long. “In five years, I won’t be here,” she says. “I will be in
Europe. I hope that I’ll be either a college student studying
engineering, or graduated by then". Sharing some of the stories of Syrians, lost homes, lost lives. Got something to say or share? Comment below.
