Manar, 13, and her family arrived in Jordan two years ago, from Homs, Syria. Manar, like Halaa, just finished the tailoring program through the Mercy Corps project "No Lost Generation." “I was enrolled in school when I first arrived here. They sent my brother back to Syria, so I had to leave school to help at home. I miss school. Next year I hope to return.”
She has two brothers in Syria. One of them didn’t have papers to allow him to cross the border into Jordan and the other was caught working, which is illegal for refugees. “When they were bombing in Homs, we were so afraid. These photos are from when I was little. We brought a lot of things with us, but they didn’t let us bring our things across the border.” Manar managed to bring her photos across, which remind her of her family. Mafraq, Jordan, May 2015.
