A place to see good, share good, and do good.

fatmah, age 6, is one of thousands of children who currently call the zaatari refugee camp home. according to the latest UNHCR report the population of zaatari hovers right around 100,000 with over half of that number being children and 20% under the age of 5. fatmah came to the camp with her family in late 2013 -- she enjoys bike rides and playing with some of the other children in the camp.

each day that i spent in the zaatari camp was a gift. i felt that then and i feel the same now, as i write this caption. i was permitted to bear witness to the incredible resilience and beauty of the syrian people where each individual had a story of unimaginable hardship and many children, like the young girl pictured, have never known peace or normalcy. in spite of this, each person that i met left me in awe and admiration of their resilience, their conscious decision to see the beauty in each day and their ability to cling to a hope for a better future … a future of peace.
