Our class 5r3 had a journalist  from the Irish independent come in and talk to us about his experience in Syria. He spoke about how he got there, the danger's he faced and the experience he got from it.

Jason's Experience
Jason talked about how he got to Syria. He described his ordeal as nothing short of frightening. Jason told us how he had to cross fast flowing river whilst trying to avoid Turkish border patrols every 15 minutes. He described his "Boat" as a barrel no larger then an arms length wide. When he eventually got there he met an ordinary man know as "The plumber", who had taken up arms against the government militia after his family had been killed by them. Jason spent 2 nights in Syria before returning to Turkey to safety.

What we took from the Talk
After Jason told us of his experience it really set the field for us and gave us a true insight to what actually goes on in Syria to date. It really inspired our class to continue with the NGO and let the Syrian people know that they are not alone
