Sana Hallaq is a young, Syrian girl who is about 10 years old. Her family lives in Atareb, a small town in Syria. During the war she discovered that singing is her way of "survival". She says that it takes her to another world where she feels safe and calm. Since her family moved there she's given almost 60 concerts and she dreams to do it professionally when she grow up.
Her story is one of those that remain in your mind forever. It moves me how passionate she is about music and how she overcomes her fears by singing. After watching that video I've realised that it's not war that defines all of those people, but it's their will to live like humans, to find joy and purpose even when every day they're afraid of losing everything, even their own lives.

Ok but go for LISTENING next time: it's more challenging. You can obviously keep watching BBC videos anyway.
