Today I am writing to you to raise awareness for children at war.
This is Israa, she is 13 years old she used to live in a small village in Syria, she went to school like all of us, she loved art! She even wanted to be an artist! And even has 5 little brothers and sisters!.
But then one day a bomb hit that small village and she had to flee to a small refugee camp in Jordan. Now she doesn’t have anything she used to Toys, electronics, perfumes all she was allowed to bring were a few pairs of clothes.
Now she only goes to school once a week. So tell me how would you feel if you were in the place of Israaa how would you feel sad, scared, anxious, terrified, please let me know?

If I were in Israa’s situation I would feel scared and anxious. I would feel scared about having to leave my home and live in a strange place, without any of my own belongings to remind me of home. I would feel anxious about my safety and about my future. I would think about whether or not it would ever be safe enough for me to return home. I would hope so.
