Education for a Peaceful Syria

We are a team of students and activists from around the world who want to support the Syrian refugees in Turkey by improving their educational system.  The schools we're working for are "Minbar Alsham" schools 1 through 14 which have been dedicated for Syrian students by the Turkish government.

In the summer of 2016, we will be starting our project for Syrian refugees in Turkey by offering mental health counseling for war trauma, supplying school needs, and holding educational workshops for teachers on how to deal with students suffering from trauma and academic delay.

The money will be used for school supplies and professional development for the educators. We need the funds by May 2016 to be able to fulfill this. 

This means a lot to us because we, as international and domestic U.S. college students, want to give back to the world especially in such a time of need - and this is what we can offer our expertise in. A lot of us are Syrians ourselves so we have a direct relation to the cause.  We would be very thankful for your donations. Whether it's $1 or more, every little bit helps.
