The Syrian Refugee Crisis and the ISDP Program in Turkey: A Story of Hope Amidst Oppression
Aug 22, 2023 Season 1 Episode 24

This podcast discusses the Syrian refugee crisis, which began in 2011 due to civil war and government oppression. Many Syrians have fled to Turkey, where they have found refuge in refugee camps and some have been able to find employment and homes in the cities. The ISDP program has helped provide job skills and education for Syrian refugees in Turkey, with a focus on children. Despite the generosity of Turkey and the EU, many Syrians still face violence and oppression from their own government. The podcast also briefly touches on the situation in Myanmar where the people are victims of violence and oppression from the Burmese government.
