4:10Now PlayingMohamad al-Jounde was only 12 years old when he was forced to flee his home in Syria during the civil war. After a long and dangerous journey, he and his family ended up in a refugee camp in Lebanon, and were forced to rebuild their lives from the ground up. A few years later, inspired by the resilience and determination of the refugees around him, Mohamad had the idea to build a school—by refugees and for refugees. Mohamad al-Jounde is #SolvingIt; he turned incredible hardship into a dream and then turned that dream into reality. Today, 240 refugee children learn each year at the Gharsah School, which provides literacy, computer and gender equality classes among other subjects. In 2017, Mohamad was honored with the International Children's Peace Prize for his amazing work and today he continues his activism and works to improve the lives of refugees everywhere.
