Syrian War Crisis
Aylan Kurdi, 3 year child, became a part of madness called ‘war’.
What is this Syrian Civil war?
Unfortunately this civil war conflict had started even before Aylan was born, in March 2011.
Syrian Crisis may look like a civil war going on in a single country. First it started that way like anti Government demonstrations as a part of Arab Spring; but when you dive into the details of this war, then you will find Syria has became a battle ground for many countries and religious group for different purposes.

Which countries are they fleeing to?
Where can you help?
We wake up in the morning with a hope to do our daily work and contribute ourselves to make our world and humanity a better place. One person few days back told me, “it’s enough that I am not hurting someone or killing someone. This is not the destruction that I have done.” It’s good that a person is not doing a bad thing. But is it really enough, to become a spectator of this sabotage? When someone will be shooting me or forcing me out of my country or killing my relatives or destroying my country… Will i want to hear these words from other people ?
