Solaf loves sports and dreams of living in America. She and her family fled the war in Syria. Solaf, 9 years old: “My name is Solaf and I’m from Bosra in Syria. I remember my house there. It was big with a brown door. There was a garden outside with olive trees, lemon trees, orange trees and apple trees. We planted basil, thyme, chamomile, parsley, eggplants and potatoes. A missile hit our roof and we had to go and sleep in the mosque. Then the mosque got bombed and after that we came to Jordan. I don’t like it much here in the camp. There’s no electricity. We use solar lamps at night but they only last for 30 minutes. If we had electricity I would like to watch television… no, a laptop! I want to watch TV on a laptop. When I’m not at school I play with my friends and do sports. I’m learning tae kwon do so that I can defend myself when my brother is not around. I can almost do the splits, just a bit more to go.” “I want to go to America. One of my relatives went once and told me there is normal life there – big supermarkets and good schools. I would do my exams and get good grades there. I want to become a doctor and treat diabetes. Why? Because my mother has diabetes. I want to help my family because they are all I have.” Munaf, 21, holds up his sister Solaf, 9, as she demonstrates her new taekwondo skills at Azraq refugee camp in Jordan. ©UNHCR / A.

SAKKAB Nine-year-old Solaf is a Syrian refugee living with her parents and older brother in Azraq refugee camp in Jordan. Originally from the town of Bosra in southern Syria, she and her family fled to Jordan in 2013 after their home was partially destroyed in a missile strike. Solaf has vivid memories of the conflict in Syria. “I remember when a missile hit the graveyard in our town, and the body of someone called Mousa came out of the ground.” Despite everything she’s been through, Solaf is a happy and lively child, who loves playing sports with her friends in the camp, and doing jigsaw puzzles in her family’s shelter. She loves helping her mother with the cooking, and rattles off the recipe for her favorite dish of shishbarak – lamb dumplings, cooked in a yoghurt sauce. The conflict in Syria has lasted for more than five years, leading to the world’s largest refugee crisis, with 4.8 million Syrians fleeing to Jordan and other neighbouring countries in the region.

Share it with your friends! “Refugee children, like children everywhere, have the right to education. It is fundamental that children who have been uprooted by war and violence are not left behind even further,” said Filippo Grandi, High Commissioner for UNHCR. Figures reveal that only 53% of Syrian refugee school-aged children in Jordan are enrolled. In Azraq camp, where Solaf is now living, has an enrollment rate of 55%. This translates into 3,000 children enrolled in primary and secondary schools. More stories Baw Meh fled violence in Myanmar. She dreams of a better future for her grandchildren.

Solaf voli sport i sanja o životu u Americi. Ona i njezina obitelj pobjegli su od rata u Siriji. Solaf, 9 godina: „Zovem se Solaf i dolazim iz Bosre u Siriji. Sjećam se tamo svoje kuće. Bila je velika i imala je smeđa vrata. Uz nju se nalazio vrt sa stablima masline, limuna, naranči i jabuka. Posadili smo bosiljak, majčinu dušicu, kamilicu, peršin, patlidžane i krumpire. Projektil je pogodio naš krov, pa smo morali ići spavati u džamiju, a onda su bombardirali džamiju, pa smo nakon toga došli u Jordan.“ „Baš mi se i ne sviđa ovdje u kampu. Nema struje. Noću koristimo solarne svjetiljke, ali one traju samo 30 minuta. Kada bi imali struju, voljela bih gledati televiziju… ne, laptop! Želim gledati televiziju na laptopu. Kada nisam u školi, igram se s prijateljima i bavim se sportom. Učim taekwondo kako bih se mogla obraniti kada moj brat nije u blizini. Mogu skoro napraviti špagu, još mi samo malo treba.“ „Želim ići u Ameriku. Jedan od mojih rođaka bio je jednom tamo i rekao mi da je ondje život normalan – velike samoposluge i dobre škole. Tamo bih polagala ispite i imala bih dobre ocjene. Želim postati liječnica i liječiti dijabetes. Zašto? Zato jer moja majka ima dijabetes. Želim pomoći svojoj obitelji jer oni su sve što imam.” Devetogodišnja Solaf sirijska je izbjeglica koja živi sa svojim roditeljima i starijim bratom u izbjegličkom kampu pored Azraqa u Jordanu. Podrijetlom je iz grada Bosre na jugu Sirije. Ona i njezina obitelj pobjegli su u Jordan 2013. godine nakon što je njihov dom djelomično uništio projektil. Solaf ima živa sjećanja na sukob u Siriji. „Sjećam se kada je projektil pogodio groblje u našem gradu i kako je tijelo nekog čovjeka koji se zvao Mousa izašlo iz zemlje.” Unatoč svemu što je doživjela, Solaf je veselo i živahno dijete koje se voli baviti sportom s prijateljima u kampu te slagati slagalice u skloništu svoje obitelji. Voli pomagati majci dok kuha i brzo recitira recept svog omiljenog jela – shish barak – okruglice s janjetinom u umaku od jogurta. Sukob u Siriji traje više od pet godina i uzrok je najveće svjetske izbjegličke krize, s više od 4,8 milijuna Sirijaca koji su pobjegli u Jordan i susjedne zemlje u regiji.

Podijelite s prijateljima! “Djeca izbjeglice, kao i djeca posvuda, imaju pravo na obrazovanje. Ključno je da djeca koja su raseljena zbog ratova i sukoba ne budu uskraćena za budućnost,” rekao je Filippo Grandi, Visoki povjerenik Ujedinjenih naroda za izbjeglice (UNHCR). Podaci pokazuju da je samo 53% sirijske djece školske dobi u Jordanu zaista upisano u škole. U kampu Azraq, gdje Solaf sada živi, upisano je 55% djece. Konkretno, to znači da je 3 000 djece upisano u osnovnu i srednju školu. More stories BawMeh je pobjegla od nasilja u Mijanmaru. Sanja o boljoj budućnosti za svoje unuke.
