One week. One story. #9

One week. One story. #9

Yamen is 14 years old and comes from Deir ez-Zor. His father has two wives and all together they have 20 children. If they all sleep in one tent at the camp?, I ask him. He only moans: yes, in one tent, with only a blanket separating one family from the other. He worked on the field for over three years, mostly tomato and potato fields. Sometimes his shoulder still hurts from the rough labour, although he hasn’t been working for almost one year. He drew a lake, because he hasn’t ever seen one in his life.
