Refugee children determined to keep learning, as Syrian conflict reaches three-year mark

BEIRUT, Lebanon, 14 March 2014 – Shaiima* sits on a thin mattress perched on the straw mat of her family’s makeshift tent in eastern Lebanon. The 9-year-old girl leans towards her mother, Salha, who wraps her arm tenderly around Shaiima’s waist. Eyes wide, Shaiima is listening to her father, Awad, talk about their life back in the Syrian Arab Republic.
