My duty when I went to Turkey in late May was to be the resident photo-journalist. Youve seen the pictures on Aid 2 Syrian Refugees in Turkey. Now, the first of my series of articles is up. Please read & share widely. I turned to see where my other colleagues were. They were surrounding an old man. I walked over to see this old Syrian man holding out his Syrian currency. Our Turkish guide said “He’s selling his Syrian currency. That money has no value anymore.” My heart broke. Not only have the Syrians lost their family, their homes, their jobs and their country. In a weird twist of events, even their life savings meant less than dust. I had no money on me but my colleagues bought some of his Syrian currency, if only for memories. muzlimbuzz.sg/everyone-has-lost-someone-in-syria/ Please donate generously at aidtosyria.eventbrite.sg #ASRIT #aidtosyria
