Waves of Childhood
Jordan
Only two years into the war in Syria, over 3,500 journalists had traveled through Camp Za'atari to tell stories of the Syrian people who were forced out of their country to live in exile in Jordan. The stories told were somewhat black and white and largely tragic. In response to the mainstream media reporting of the refugee experience, Felsman Fellow Laura Doggett organized two workshops to give Syrian girls living as refugees in Jordan's camps and urban areas cameras and the chance to tell their own stories.

These are snippets from the pocket pink-spiraled notebooks the girls used to write their thoughts down.
