"May God Bless the Hand that Works": Stories from Displaced Syrian Farmworkers during Covid-19

What pains Suhair most is
that she can’t send all of
her children to school. Her
15 year-old son must stay and
watch the younger children at
home when she goes to work.
Her adult son Khalid now works
in the fields with her.
Khalid was 12 years old when
the war started, now he is 21.
“This war has lasted for almost
ten years now, there is no
stability. For those children
who were at the beginning of
their education , they dropped
out. Also, because of the
difficult living conditions,
they started working with
their parents so they could
contribute to the family
income, and many schools
were destroyed in the
bombings.”
