Four years ago, conflict broke out in Syria. I could tell you that 190,000 people have died and that 12.2 million people in Syria need our help. When you hear these numbers over and over, you no longer picture that one child who has not been able to attend school in four years.

Please show your support and remember the individual lives that these numbers include.
