Whispers of Home in a Child’s Heart

Saya’s family is from Syria, but she was born in Turkiye. Saya is six years old and has three sisters—one younger and two older. Her family lived in Syria until her older sisters were three and one year old. They fled because the war had made their hometown too dangerous.
