“I have changed my pain to happiness and I left all my sadness”

My strength is my happiness.

The countries I love are called Syria and Lebanon.

The tent is all I have and all I am now.

I have changed my pain to happiness and I left all my sadness.

I will make of my childhood a paradise and my life trees and colours.

I drew a smile on my face and I’m full of hope.

I miss my country and I miss my friends.

When is the return? Answer me!

I will return at any price.

The youngest of five children, Houssein has been in Lebanon five years, almost since the very start of the crisis. He is in the sixth grade in school. He says” “I love the journalists club because it helped me to express myself and make myself heard to the whole world.”
