Now that Assad has been driven out and the guns have fallen silent, families are trying to rebuild their lives amid the rubble. Laughter can be heard again at school, but traumas are simmering beneath the surface. In just six months after the toppling of former president Bashar al-Assad, Syria has gone from a global pariah to a country of promise. President Trump has announced he would end all US sanctions on Syria, a move he said ”gives them a chance at greatness”. Suddenly there’s new hope that the shattered country can be rebuilt. 7 million Syrians were displaced within the country during the conflict. Bringing them back is perhaps the biggest challenge Syria now faces. Welcome to ‘DARE TO DREAM: New Hope For Syria’
