Volunteers spread Christmas cheer at Syrian IDP camp
|
| We’ll never know how many of those children and their friends and relations end up converting to Christianity some day as a result, but I’m betting on oodles. |
[Rudaw] A campaign started by Kurdish activists abroad has brought Christmas cheer to northern Syria.
The "We are with you" campaign" sent Santa Claus to Washukanni camp in Hasaka province, where many Syrian Kurds have fled following the Ottoman Turkish invasion of northeast Syria in October.
The camp is home to 6,000 internally displaced persons.
Youth living abroad decided to send gifts to the children of the camp, many of whom are from Sari Kani (Ras al-Ain). The packages, consisting of gloves, socks and hats, will keep them warm as the temperatures plummet ahead of winter.
"What's important for these small children is that they stay warm," said Baouer Osman, a volunteer with the campaign.
"The only reason behind what we are doing is to put a smile on the faces of these children," he added.
