Mohamad, 21 years old, grew up in Syria, but fled for Lebanon when life became too dangerous at home. Like thousands of other refugee children in the country, he couldn’t go to school, so he set out to make a difference for children in the same situation. Together with his family, Mohamad built a school (Gharsah) in a refugee camp where 200 children now access their right to an education. At the age of 12, he already was teaching math and photography. He helps children to heal, learn and have fun with games and photography. Mohamad is a natural storyteller, raising awareness about the challenges facing refugee children by bringing their stories to a wider audience. At the moment Mohamad lives in Sweden and he Already started an NGO called Gharsah Sweden for the people in the community to support the school in Lebanon and to connect with the new comers in Sweden.
