living debris

I am Banyas Abu Harb, 30 years old, a mother to a one-year-old daughter, and I'm an English teacher. I love my job very much, and I adore my students. My main occupation was to raise an aware, educated generation that loves and masters the language. We are a people who love life, have dreams, passion, and energy. Stop killing us. Stop annihilating us Stop burning our hearts.

The latest message posted by Banyas on Facebook

My name is Banyas. I am 30 years old. I love life deeply. I cherish my school and my students. Before the war, I had plans to plant trees in the school from my own pocket to bring joy to the students.

My school was targeted with phosphorus above the heads of the displaced. Most of my students were either martyred, injured, lost in the massacres, lost their families, lost their homes, lost parts of their bodies, or suffered from psychological trauma.

My students and I had a dream and a goal that we wanted to celebrate by the end of this year. But now, we have nothing. We have nothing. We have nothing.

Tell the world about us

Tell the world about us. By God, we loved life. By God, we were peaceful and innocent. By God, we laughed, danced, and sang every day. Tell the world about us.
