Primary School Poster Competition

Meet Ahmad - he was a farmer in Syria, but civil war forced him and his family to leave in 2012. The civil war in Syria has forced almost 12 million people to flee their homes and left over 2 million children out of school.
When Ahmad saw none of the children in his community could read or write, he decided to be their teacher. He teaches more than 40 Syrian children, ranging from 5 to 13 in Mafraq, Jordan. The school children meet at 8am to noon, six days a week and the walls of the classroom are covered in posters teaching English, Arabic, science and maths.
