My Travel Story

There are 380,000 Syrian children in Turkey missing out on education, I aim to teach Syrian children in Istanbul Turkish to ensure they are enrolled in a Turkish school to improve their quality of life. There are 1.2 million Syrian children in Turkey and only half a million are in education. I want help create a platform for Syrian children so they are able to accomplish their dreams, goals and ambitions I am to do this by teaching them Turkish so they are able to integrate into Turkish society and Turkish schools. 

With the current crisis in Syria leaving Syrians displaced and traumatised I want to head to out Istanbul and ensure that there is not a lost generation of Syrian children and they are still able to develop the skills needed to continue with their lives.
