Syria Articles and Pictures



There are almost 50,000 Syrian children currently living in the Za’atari camp on the Jordan/Syria border. The camp was first opened in July 2012 to help the thousands of Syrians fleeing the civil war in the country. The camp now houses almost 150,000 people - making it the fourth-largest “city” in Jordan. Save the Children recently partnered with photographer Agnes Montanari and gave some of the children living in the refugee camp cameras to document their new lives. The charity said: “At its most simple the project provides fun and an opportunity to learn new practical skills. It provides children with a focus, a chance to regain confidence and hope, by enabling them to share their stories through photography.” 
This article will help create us a bigger picture of what it is like being a refugee, you can see that even though these people are living in bad conditions they have fun. We need keep that in mind when choreographing.
