9月9日VOA聽力:災黎危急為敘利亞孤兒帶來活力
If you ask the children at this orphanage what theywant in the future there is one consistent answer.They want to return to Syria.
But in the meantime, caretakers said many of thechildren here were severely traumatized. Haila did notwant her face on camera because her family is still inSyria.
“It takes a long time for their minds to heal, and it needs professionals. The second problem,which I think is more important is the problem with education,”
The trauma is evidenced in artwork, where children draw their homes with airstrikes overhead.
And some children fight the horror with a dream of an entirely new life in Europe, like thehundreds of thousands of people trying to flee there.
“I saw on the Internet that there was a little child who drowned in the sea. And because of thisboy, they are going to send big boats for us,”
Adults say there’s almost no chance Europe will send boats to fetch people trying to enterEurope illegally.
But, they say, the public outcry over their ordeal has awakened the world to the plight of thesechildren and the uncertain future they face.
