| 説明 | Mustafa (far left) is 13 years old.He and the rest of his family (pictured) fled their hometown of Hama in Syria over 4 years ago because of the war - and he hasn’t been to school since.Instead of being in a classroom, he is helping support his family who have very little money. Now, they live in an unfinished house near Baalbek in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley.Mustafa works from 8am until 4pm every day at the local grocery store, near to Baalbek where they now live in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley. He gets paid around $20 a week. “In Syria, my life was different. I used to go to school. I used to have friends there. I had a great life there. Now, I say to myself it is impossible to get back. What do you expect my future to be like?”"Education is very important," he says. "If the situation was different, I would go to school."Now, he hopes to join an after-hours education programme at the nearby SAWA centre – backed by British aid – to continue school around his work shifts.Established in 1992, the SAWA centre works closely with UNICEF, UNHCR and other aid agencies to help educate and distribute food and other services to refugees.BackgroundToday, around 500,000 Syrian refugee children live in Lebanon - forced to flee the crisis in their homeland, and to leave their school behind.But in the last year alone, more than 200,000 were brought back into school – thanks to a Lebanese government enrolment programme, backed by UK aid and UNICEF.There is more to be done: we must ensure all refugee children get an education to avoid a lost generation of Syrian children.Getting every Syrian refugee and host community child back into education by the end of the 2016-17 school year is a key aim of the Supporting Syria and the Region conference on 4 February. The conference is being co-hosted in London by the UK, Germany, Kuwait, Norway, and the United Nations.For more information please visit www.supportingsyria2016.comPicture: Adam Patterson/Panos/DFID------------------------------------------------------Free-to-use photoThis image is posted under a Creative Commons - Attribution Licence, in accordance with the Open Government Licence.
