Description

This is the true story of French Artist and Interior Architect Florence Robichon's encounters with Syrian refugee children during her travel to Kurdistan. She volunteered a decade of her life first teaching the children how to paint murals of their own sketches/memories of Syria onto their new homes and then later motivating the children to learn by establishing a scholarship program at a nearby American University to uplift them out of poverty!
