Syrian teen rebuilt Aleppo ravaged by war to lead you on a virtual tour of his hometown
#OpChangeTheWorld2 🌎 Syrian teen rebuilds Aleppo 🔚 ☮️
"I was deeply affected by the events at home, with all the destruction and devastation. So I decided [...] it motivated me to build a future Aleppo, an Aleppo I dream of living in, and so started my project"
Mohammed Qutaish, who is 15 and a Syrian refugee, has a vision of a post-war Aleppo with restored buildings and improved facilities. And his Aleppo is a cardboard and paper model which he has built over the years from memory. Since then, the Syrian war has destroyed the homes and lives of citizens. The war has entered its seventh year and the city of Aleppo has been one of the key battlegrounds.
"You'll get to hear about some of his favourite buildings, the stories that inspired him to recreate them as models, but also his own personal relationships and also how he plans to sort of not necessarily improve, but to restore them and actually make the city even better than it was before."
