Shehd loves to draw, but recently, all of her drawings have had the same theme: weapons. "She saw them all the time, they are everywhere," explains her mother while the little girl sleeps on the ground. Now she does not draw at all. The family did not bring paper or crayons with them when they fled. Shehd does not play anymore, either. The escape has forced children to become adults and share concern for the future. The family has had difficulty finding food during their journey, and some days they have had to make do with the apples they pick from trees along the road. If they had known how hard the journey would be, they would have chosen to stay and risk their lives in Syria. © Magnus Wennman
