He and his family are from Syria, but now they live in a tent in a small temporary camp in the country of Lebanon. They are refugees. Hassan and his family used to live together in an apartment in a city in Syria. But when war broke out, bombs were dropped on their neighborhood and people were getting hurt and killed. That\u2019s when Hassan\u2019s mom and dad decided to flee to Lebanon. Life as a refugee is not easy. Instead of an apartment, they live in a tent made of vinyl sheeting and wood posts. Instead of a shower, they take bucket baths. Their toilet is in a tiny metal \u00a0building outside their tent. It\u2019s called a latrine. Yet in spite of being a refugee, Hassan is happy. He has both his mom and dad, food, and water. There are no loud bombs scaring him at night. His family says, \u201cAt least here [in Lebanon] we feel safe,\u201d \u201cwe can sleep,\u201d and \u201cour children consider this [the tent] their home.\u201d<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>REFLECTION:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Look at a map and find Syria and Lebanon. Think about how life for Hassan is different or the same as your life and share with the group. What would it be like to have to suddenly leave your home, your school, and your friends?<\/p>\n<p><strong>RESPONSE:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are many other children like Hassan who are being driven from their homes and need a place to stay. You can help by praying for Hassan and other children who have to leave their homes in Syria. Your offering will assist Covenant World Relief as it works in Lebanon to help the refugees from Syria.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Weekly, we will be posting the materials from the Kids Helping Kids: Refugee curriculum for your ease on our blog.
