Let's help SYRIAN REFUGEE CHILDREN regain a little JOY in their lives by buying the A-Z of Hope Book full of activities to raise funds for the HEART SCHOOL PROJECT at one of the 11 refugee camps in Iraq and Turkey housing thousands of children who had to flee from their homes.

Little Mohammed, who fled from his country with his three siblings and his family, was one of the first children to benefit from the HEART SCHOOL PROJECT, a brainchild of Kaniwar, a determined volunteer, in collaboration with a very dedicated Julie Pratten and a lot of wonderful people who believe in giving these children a safe place to learn and play.  The school opened on 30th October 2015 with 40 hopeful smiling children crammed into a mobile unit in a refugee camp in Iraq.  They had very few effective resources but were taught by Jihan, a very resourceful volunteer English teacher who wrote:  "You have truly given these kids a ray of hope and brought smiles & laughter, song & dance and joy to their lives."

​The school is trying to raise funds to buy a desktop PC and a year's Internet time for the classroom as well as basic necessities like paper, crayons, paints, etc..  Some publishing companies have meanwhile donated course books and some very talented young refugees like 17 year old Ibrahim are sketching cards to sell so as to help raise money for the school themselves.

Julie is producing a book called the A-Z of Hope to raise funds for the Heart School. The book consists of 26 photocopiable activities to stimulate the imagination and dreams of children.

Unfortunately little Mohammed is now the Guardian Angel of the Heart School since on 19th February he, his three siblings and his parents drowned tragically when their boat sank in the Aegean.
 
These children have already lost friends, siblings and parents – let’s join together and help give them a ray of hope…

    My name is Susan Brodar, born in London into a multilingual family and brought up bilingual English / Italian.

    I went to school in London until 15 when we moved to Germany where I finished my British education at Munich International School. I started teaching Italian at evening classes aged only 17 and studied Mass Communications and Journalism at Munich University.

    I continued teaching parallel to interpreting at trade fairs and business meetings as well doing translations. After working at the Italian Institute for Foreign Trade for a year I married my Italian globetrotting companion in 1983 and we set up our home near Venice, Italy where we continue to live with our two teenaged children.

    Having taken my British High School-leaving ‘A’ Level exams in English, Italian, French & German I am completely fluent in all four languages and am taking a DELE certification in Spanish to complement them.
