Help the Syrian children!

From late December to early January, Syria faced intensified fighting between government forces and Kurdish groups. This recent escalation led to the evacuation of numerous neighborhoods, forcing many families into displacement once again. After more than a decade of war, the country remains trapped in a cycle of conflict that prevents the population from achieving any lasting stability.

In a land so deeply scarred, rebuilding is not just about infrastructure—it is about restoring the very rhythm of life. Sumaya Halak, a soprano born in Geneva to an Aleppine father, decided to pause her career on the great international stages to return to her roots. Her project, “One, Two, Three, Hope, Love, Life,” is more than a music school; it is an act of faith in the middle of Aleppo.

"The music works from within," Sumaya says. Today, she has chosen a life of service over the spotlight, missing world-class auditions to stay by the side of those who have lost everything.

The center currently serves as a hub for fifteen core students and many more families, offering courses in piano, guitar, singing, and dance, alongside essential literacy and educational games. However, the true transformation happens in the "Circle of Peace." Every session begins with a shared declaration:

"I am light, I am love, I am life, I am trust, I am friendship, I am truth, I am respect. We are peace."

These aren't just words; they are way intended to heal. We are seeing the fruits of this "vibrational medicine" in every corner of the center. 

These are not just words; they are tools for healing. We are seeing the results of this approach in every corner of the center. For instance, Mohammed, who had retreated into total silence due to trauma, found his voice again during a sound relaxation session.

Our Ongoing Commitment

Not every story is a victory yet. We still face the heartbreak of child marriages and the consequences of the latest conflicts. When the sounds of war return, the center is often forced to close its doors abruptly. But as Sumaya says, "We cannot make world peace, but we can make small acts of internal peace."

Through your support, we continues to provide:

• Artistic & Psychological Recovery: Using music and dance to treat trauma and mutism in children.
• Educational Discipline: Teaching the "rules of art" to help youth regain a sense of responsibility and future.
• A 'Noah's Ark' of Solidarity Supporting Sumaya’s vision of an all-female orchestra and a sustainable safety net to protect, shelter, and reunite the most vulnerable families during times of crisis.

Sumaya’s music does not drown out the noise of war, but it gives rhythm to the courage of an entire neighborhood. With every "bonjour" and every C-minor chord, a window of hope opens. Together, we are building a "sea of love" where no one believed it was possible anymore.
