From war and displacement to liberation and new beginnings, Central Arkansas has stood with the people of Syria every step of the way.
Since 2016, our community has supported Wisdom House Kindergarten and Tomorrow’s Dawn Women’s Center, helping keep education and hope alive through years of war and displacement. This Sunday, we came together to share soup, celebrate Syria’s liberation, and look ahead to a brighter future for these students. Together, we raised over $30,000 to fund a much-needed new school bus for Wisdom House!
We are incredibly grateful to our community partners, sponsors, volunteers, donors, and everyone who made Soup for Syria 2026 a success!
We still hope to raise $5,000 for student transportation at Tomorrow’s Dawn, along with ongoing support to keep both schools thriving. You can help with a one-time donation or by sponsoring a student for $45/month: donorbox.org/educationprogra…
Thank you to our Arkansas community for standing with Syria!

During our latest trip to Syria, SETF visited Afrin, a city in Aleppo province. Once home to millions of olive trees, Afrin was the target of systematic violence, burning, and devastation during the revolution, leading to the loss of its beautiful landscape. Today, stabilization efforts in the region bring new hopes of restoring Afrin’s geographical beauty, demonstrating its residents’ resilience and recovery.

The @syrianetf team visited idlib and specifically our wisdom house school and Tomorrow’s Dawn Women’s center and High School!! For over a decade of mostly war SETF has educated those amazing bright young ladies and little kids who wouldn’t have had any school and all had been displaced by war. Today our schools are the best quality private schools in their respective cities and it’s absolutely free for students to attend and build a new free #Syria

Damascus is on fire: 🇸🇾 Syrian star @AssalaOfficial is back home for the biggest concert since Syria's liberation
Asala Nasri just kicked off her massive homecoming concert with the patriotic anthem "سوريا جنة" in front of a massive crowd, marking her official return after years of forced exile under the Assad regime.
Back in 2011, Asala stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the Syrian revolution, facing relentless harassment and threats that kept her away from home. Today, she's finally reunited with the people she never stopped fighting for!
Unbelievable our intl systems can’t stop an undeniable evil

For 2 days in a row, #Suwayda's Druze National Guard have locked down roads leading to gov't areas to prevent students from sitting their exams.
1 young man was shot this morning; 4 beaten yesterday. Parents are protesting.
130 of ~13,000 (or 1%) students have made it through.

13yrs ago this minute, #Assad's regime began launching artillery rockets loaded with Sarin nerve agent into East Ghouta outside #Damascus, as people slept.
Shortly thereafter, 1,400+ people were dead.
UN chemical weapons inspectors had just arrived on a mission.
NEVER forget.

The tragic accident on the Deir Ezzor–Homs highway, which claimed so many innocent lives, has left us heartbroken. Our deepest condolences go to the families and loved ones of the victims. May those who lost their lives rest in peace, and may their families find strength and patience during this unimaginable time.
This tragedy should not be dismissed as just another accident. It is the consequence of years of neglect. Poorly maintained roads, the slow pace of road rehabilitation, and the absence of effective traffic management continue to put countless lives at risk every single day.
How many more lives must be lost before real action is taken? Safe roads are not a luxury, they are a basic right. The authorities must take immediate responsibility by accelerating road maintenance projects, improving infrastructure, and ensuring proper traffic regulation to prevent more families from experiencing such devastating loss.
Our thoughts and prayers are with every family affected. May this heartbreaking tragedy be the last of its kind.

GAZA: THE SUFFERING CONTINUES
Today in Gaza, most of the TV cameras are gone and media interest has declined. But, more than nine months after the announcement of a supposed “ceasefire”, the suffering of the Palestinian people continues.
Today, 92% of housing units in Gaza are damaged or destroyed, 70% of the entire population lacks adequate housing and is forced to live in makeshift shelters, 86% of agricultural water wells have been damaged, the vast majority of households report significant challenges in accessing safe and clean sanitation facilities and 90% of all energy infrastructure has been destroyed.
And what about the children? Today in Gaza, 91% of school-aged children do not have sustained access to in-person education, 93% of school buildings will require full reconstruction or major rehabilitation to be functional again and 70% of infants and young children under two years of age are experiencing moderate to severe food insecurity.
All of this is taking place after the horrific destruction that Netanyahu’s extremist government brought to Gaza over the last three years: more than 73,000 Palestinians killed and 173,000 wounded — mostly women, children and the elderly. In addition, virtually the entire infrastructure of Gaza was destroyed.
Israel now controls an estimated 70% of Gaza, well beyond what they agreed to, and has built dozens of military outposts inside Gaza since the “ceasefire” began. In the nine months since the “ceasefire” was announced, Israel has killed at least 1,150 Palestinians, including a family of six last week.
Now, as if to remove any doubt about their intentions, senior leaders of the Netanyahu government are moving to make the occupation permanent. Recently, a number of government ministers led thousands of settlers to the Gaza border demanding new illegal Jewish settlements be built there. National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir stood up and said "Gaza is ours."
The shameful fact is that the United States is complicit in everything that is happening in Gaza. We have funneled tens of billions of dollars in military aid to an Israeli government that has consistently violated international law and whose leader is a war criminal.
The good news is that the American people are catching on. More and more Americans — Democrats, Republicans and independents — are demanding that we stop all military aid to Israel and use our considerable leverage to end the suffering of the Palestinian people.
Enough is enough! Congress must listen to the American people. NO MORE U.S. MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

Today, #Israel launched 2 ground incursions -- one into #Quneitra (where one man was detained) & another into #Daraa.
Tonight, 2 children were injured when IDF forces opened fire with machine guns towards a group of people laying rocks outside their village in western #Daraa.

During an event on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Turkey today, U.S. President Donald Trump told a reporter he would lift the State Sponsor of Terrorism(SST )designation from Syria.
Syria's SST designation is the last major U.S. sanction that has crippled Syria's economy and blocked foreign investment for reconstruction. This is a historic step for Syria's future.

#Venezuela: first photos of the Syrian Civil Defense team after its arrival in Caracas yesterday.
They were welcomed by Venezuela's deputy Foreign minister for Asian affairs.
The 15 members are search & rescue specialists, whose expertise was forged in some of the harshest conditions imaginable during the war.
The White Helmets are heading to Venezuela.
A Syrian Civil Defense team left #Damascus for Caracas to assist in the aftermath of the devastating earthquakes.
The team consists of 15 search & rescue specialists equipped with their own gear, while Qatar is providing the heavy machinery needed for the operation.

.@samrgoodwin , an American who has traveled to every country in the world, was arrested by the Assad regime in May 2019 and held for two months.
This month, Sam and his pregnant wife returned to Syria for the first time.
The new Syrian government granted Sam access to the very courthouse and holding cells where he was detained seven years ago. This is that story.
I live for this 🌸
.@NatalieLarrison caught this moment with two kindergarteners, Elaf and Reema, at the Wisdom House last week, they were excited to show everything they'd learned this year.
Natalie is part of the small group of Arkansans who created the Wisdom House in 2016. For years she worked to support this school from across the world, never able to visit. Thankfully, since the fall of Assad, Natalie and the rest of the team have been able to spend time with the kids and teachers. Natalie is our Director of Humanitarian programs, overseeing the Wisdom House.

Gaza 💔
‼️Children are being carried out on stretchers instead of being taken to Eid celebrations, after the Israeli occupation army targeted a home without warning near the Al-Isra Tower on Omar al-Mukhtar Street in central Gaza City on the first day of Eid al-Adha. A witness at the scene describes how families were gathered together when missiles suddenly rained down on them, leaving martyrs and wounded scattered across the site as civil defence and ambulance crews struggled to pull the injured from beneath the rubble. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society's al-Saraya Field Hospital has so far received five martyrs and eighteen wounded, with the toll expected to rise.
