STORYLINE
Ibtihaj, a 12-year-old refugee from Homs, has big dreams. She wants to grow up to be a famous artist. Her family fled to the hilly town of Ajloun in the north of Jordan - where UNHCR invited young refugees to paint their messages on a tent for the world to see.
Ibtihaj loves to sit down and draw what’s on her mind. A shy twelve year old from Homs, she expresses herself most deeply through art.
SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Ibtihaj Moafaq Khalouf, Syrian Refugee:
“This is a son and his mother praying to God asking him to please help Syria...and this is an eye crying for its country.”
Ibtihaj remembers her grandfather’s house in Syria. She hasn’t been there since her family fled more than two years ago.
SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Ibtihaj Moafaq Khalouf, Syrian Refugee:
“In the future, I hope to go back to Syria to study there and open art galleries. I want to help the children of my country through drawing and art.”
Ibtihaj’s father – himself a house painter - encourages her to follow her dreams.

“It would be great if she becomes an artist. On the contrary, I will be proud of my daughter. Thank God there is nothing wrong with what she is doing. I wish her to succeed internationally and reach Europe so people there can see her paintings.”
Ahead of World Refugee Day, UNHCR is inviting youth across urban areas of Jordan to share their messages in the form of art.
The children are painting on recycled tents to be exhibited in Amman and abroad. The theme of today’s tent is Hope.

Ibtihaj didn’t have to think hard about what hope means to her.

These images show that Syria’s children are full of hope for a brighter future.
Their message is one of peace. Ibtihaj’s dream of helping her people through art starts right here.
