Due to the ongoing war in Syria, several million children are at risk. One of them is 10-year-old Nora, who together with her parents and siblings had to hurriedly leave her home. She now lives in a makeshift dwelling in a refugee camp in neighbouring Jordan. When she remembers the events that affected her family, tears come to her eyes. But she remains optimistic and looks to the future with the hope that someday she will establish an arts school in a free Syria. (One World)
