United Nations: Sabah is determined to rebuild her home - VIDEO (3 min) and NEWS

United Nations
When you look into the faded eyes of Sabah, you see pure resilience. 
Sabah fled her home in Baba Amr in Homs, Syria after intense fighting blasted the neighborhood beyond recognition. Now she has returned. Sabah is determined to rebuild her home and bring life back to the community she holds dear to her heart. 
“We have to be brave. We cannot be weak, so that we can rebuild our homes [and] make them better than how they were before.”
Watch 3 minute video...

Sabah isn't the only one. Watch this video to hear more about Sabah and the brave families who return with one thing in mind: to rebuild their homes and lives in war-torn Baba Amr. 
When I read stories like these, I’m reminded of how critical it is to stand alongside refugees escaping war and persecution. They’re brave – even when all odds are against them – and we can enable them to carry on with hope and dignity.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your interest in refugees’ lives. 
With my best wishes,
