Turkey: Mobile Fun Houses Built For Syrian Children

A Turkish businesspeople association has built two mobile amusement houses for Syrian refugee children, who are suffering from trauma, said the director of the association Friday.



Baris Arat, a board of director of BASSIAD, told Anadolu Agency that their association did a field study to develop a project that helps refugee children to get out of the war trauma.



Following the study, Arat said, they decided to build a mobile house so that refugee children could play, take training and participate in events that are organized to entertain them.



He said that one house entertains 10-12 children at a time.



Syria has been locked in a vicious civil war since early 2011, when the Assad regime cracked down on pro-democracy protests with unexpected ferocity. -
