Crowdfunding for a really good cause

Late last year we wrote about Warda and Assad, and their amazing story.

The two deaf children were found by John Van Rooy in dire conditions in an informal camp for Syrian refugees in Lebanon. John is a young American who was working as a volunteer in the Bekaa Valley. He was moved by what he saw, and started a crowdfunding collection to be able to secure education for the children. In just 3 months he managed to raise enough for Warda and Assad, who started studying at The Father Andeweg Institute for the Deaf, attending school as boarder (with all meals and overnight stay).

Now John and his friend and fellow teacher Sean Tribe are going back to Lebanon. In order to support more Syrian children, whose lives have been devastated by war, he has started a collection – please visit the page and contribute if you can!
