Conrad noted that amongst the suffering, there is still a glimmer of hope, especially from children. While on his trip, Conrad was presented with a “box of wishes” from Syrian children who were living in a refugee camp. Inside the box where pictures the children had drawn of what they want to be when they grow up.
“Their parent’s tell us, well, if it’s too late for us, do something for our children,” Conrad said.
