Syrian Relief and Development (SRD)

According to official figures there are 1.4 million Syrians living in Jordan.  Jordan has been very welcoming, hospitable and tolerant to the refugees who seek safety and security here.  This places a huge burden on the country.  As we have said so many times, we are overwhelmed by the good charities and organizations from all over the world who come here to do what they can to help.

One of the many NGO's is called Syrian Relief and Development (SRD).  SRD is an organization that supports a charity hospital that serves Syrian refugees in Amman.  The hospital provides general and specialized medical services including maternal and birth care for refugees.

Right now, we don't know if we can help the hospital, but we are trying to establish relationships with groups of people who are in a position to help the Syrians when they go home "nshala" (God Willing).  There will be a lot of work to do then.  SRD could be one of those groups.  They are already rehabilitating homes in Syria.

These are some of the craft items made by refugee children in SRD's summer camp.
