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. Her father was the first to leave, traveling to Turkiye, and soon after, Saya’s mother and sisters joined him. Saya and her younger sister were born in Turkiye.
