Alaa, 18, and his family have been living in Zaatari for almost three years, since the camp first opened, after fleeing Daraa. Alaa is holding prayer beads, a gift from his best friend before he left Syria.

Alaa is sitting in a Mercy Corps resource room where he receives one-on-one instruction as a participant in Mercy Corps' inclusive education project for students with disabilities. He has cerebral palsy and was not enrolled in school until Mercy Corps met him and showed him that attending school can be a good thing. Zaatari camp for Syrian refugees, Jordan, May 2015.
