Educate 500 Orphans in Syria

Have you ever thought that a child's smile in Northern Syria could be thanks to your support? Children, despite the traumas they have endured, are standing on the threshold of healing—with a touch of your compassion!

In the midst of these deep psychological challenges facing children in Northern Syria, the mental health department continues its diligent care, tirelessly. These children have experienced harsh traumas that left indelible marks on their young souls. But we believe there is hope, a hope that begins with every child who finds support and care on their journey towards healing.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) has been one of the effective tools used by specialists in this journey. It’s not just therapy; it’s a path that reshapes the lives of children, step by step. What sets it apart is that it begins with accepting the inner pain that the child lives with, and then guides them toward transforming this pain into a positive experience that restores their psychological balance.

Imagine a child who has lived for years with borderline personality disorder, battling their thoughts, losing control of their emotions. Now, thanks to mindfulness techniques, they have learned to manage, to face what they’re going through, and sometimes, to smile again.

What about those children haunted by post-traumatic stress disorder? The painful memories that never leave them, the frozen expressions on their faces—these are gradually fading thanks to reality acceptance. They have begun to see their lives from a new perspective, no longer bound by those memories.

Self-harm, eating disorders, anxiety, and depression are some of the psychological burdens these children carried on their small shoulders. But with effective communication and emotional regulation, they are learning how to express themselves without harming themselves, and how to build healthy relationships with those around them and with themselves.

Have you ever wondered what the future of these children would look like if there was no one to support them? You have helped provide the necessary mental health care and treatment to these children who need more than just words—they need hope.

We want to continue on this path. We want to keep offering therapy and support. But we need your participation, your suggestions, your ideas. How do you see your role in this journey? And what else can we offer to improve their therapeutic journey?

Grateful for Your Compassion.

Imagine going back in time to your first day at university! Do you remember your first step on campus? That moment when your heart raced—a mixture of fear and excitement, an uncertain beginning to a future you were painting in your mind!

Today, we relive this moment through the eyes of our students who have just embarked on their university journey, but this time, they are not alone… because you are with them!

As part of the academic advising program, we walk with our students every step of the way, celebrating their dreams and sharing in their successes. Our role didn’t end when they graduated from high school; we organized a special session titled “How Do I Live My First Year of University?” This session was full of life, where students engaged in passionate and excited discussions about their futures.

“What are my expectations for university life?” This simple question kicked off the session, unveiling deep-seated dreams and great ambitions in the hearts of our students. Some of their answers were filled with hope and passion, and here are a few:

• Sidra: "University life is a door to a new future... Finally, I’ll achieve my dream of becoming a history teacher!"

• Assaf: "For me, university is an opportunity for self-development and skill growth. It’s more than just books and lectures; it’s a journey of shaping the mind."

• Hafsa: "I’m not entirely sure what university life will be like, especially as a housewife, but I’m excited to experience it and pursue my dream."

During the session, our students learned that visiting the university before classes start can be a smart step to help them prepare, and that managing and organizing their time is the key to academic success. We gave them practical tips like breaking subjects down into topics and summarizing paragraphs as questions to help them confidently tackle academic challenges.

One session was enough to transform fears into confidence and hesitation into strength. Our students left with a greater belief that the future they dream of is closer. Most importantly, they weren’t walking this path alone; they were supported by you and your care.

And now, what about you? We’d love to hear the advice you received on your first day of university. How did it change your life?

Today, you are the one offering advice and inspiration. What kind of impact would you like to leave on a university student’s life?

With you, we open doors of hope and pave the way to success for them.
