The Torches of Freedom school in Kahramanmaraş is in trouble. They don’t have enough money to pay their yearly rent, and the school is threatened with closure! Everything is even harder with the recent anti-refugee riots in the south of Turkey. If you can help out, please contact Mrs. Sanabl Marandi immediately at h.j.hajji43@nullgmail.com

The amount required for this problem is only 7000 Turkish Lira, near $3,500. This may not be much for you —  but it will let the school help hundreds of kids over the next year.

The German non-profit organization Bildung International (founded by a journalist friend of ours) can also help with this problem. Contact Anne-Beatrice Clasmann for more information at  anne-beatrice.clasmann@nullweb.de.

If you want to donate directly to the Free Syria school, you can try to write them (in Arabic) via their Facebook page, www.facebook.com/FreeSyriaSchool.
