War through a child's eyes
“Refugee children are normal children, just like every kid here that loves their toys, loves birthday parties, loves going to school, having friends, their favorite cartoons. And then it’s disrupted. My goal was to show the human side of refugee children, of children that go through war.”

"There is real power in understanding oneself and those around us, whether in a classroom, a community, or a country. That understanding begins with recognizing our shared humanity. Refugees are people who have dreams, who love their families, and who are simply trying to find safety and hope."
