在叙利亚几乎没有地方能够见到希望的曙光。而在科巴尼饱受战争摧残的马蒂奥斯曼学校却是个罕见的例外。

Three months after Islamic State militants¹ were forced to retreat from this town, children are back, playing in the schoolyard and going to daily classes.There's still major work to be done, but the teachers try to make the children feel welcome.

伊斯兰国家武装分子被迫撤出这个小镇3个月后孩子们重返课堂,在学校操场玩耍而且每天能去上课。虽然还有主要的工作要做,但教师们试图让孩子们感到高兴。

"After the liberation of Kobani, we wanted to start education again.We want our children to return to school. By coming to school, hopefully they will be able to get rid of the negative impacts of the war. We want to help them. But we don't have enough teaching materials.”

“科巴尼被解放后,我们想重新开始教学。我们希望我们的孩子重返学校。来到学校,希望他们能够摆脱战争的负面影响。我们想要帮助他们。但是我们没有足够的教材。

虽然只有几支粉笔，几个笔记本,老师也只能竭尽所能进行教学。在这样一个经受战火洗礼的国家,他们讲述着截然不同的故事。
