FOR SAMA FAMILY
There are many individuals - friends and colleagues of Waad and Hamza - that you will recognise from For Sama. Here is an update on where some of the For Sama family are now, their memories of Aleppo and what they hope For Sama can share to the world about Syria.
afraa
My name is Afraa. I used to work in the education sector before the revolution. Now I live in the UK.
In Aleppo, I participated in the peaceful movement, and after Aleppo went out of the Alassad regime’s control, I decided to stay in order to provide any kind of help to the people, in particular the children. I was a part of the family you saw in the film, which represents everything I adore in the world.
Salem
Hello, I am Salem and I live in Gaziantep, Turkey.
The point of the revolution for me is to love all people, to ease their pain, to try to fight oppression and to build a better future for us and for our children. It is also to show the difference between Assad’s rule with all the horror, fear, injustice, and between the revolution’s principles and putting the neglected community in charge of their responsibilities…
Ola
I am Ola and I am 26 years old. I live in Gaziantep, Turkey and I’ve recently enrolled in university to resume my studies,
Back in Aleppo I was a volunteer in “Al-Ahmar” team. We used to always be together like a family. When we were under siege and one of us would find some kind of fruit or vegetable, we’d share it between us. For me, having this family was a big blessing.
Nabil
I am Nabil Al-Sheikh Omar and I now live in Aleppo’s northern country-side in Syria. I’m currently volunteering as a medical case officer with Molham’s team in Aleppo’s northern countryside. I also work as a nurse with the Independent Doctors Association.
In East Aleppo, I was a nurse in Al-Quds hospital. This was my home and the staff were my little family.
