Description

Some survivors of the natural disaster are finding new meaning in Ramadan. During this special time of the year, Muslims are encouraged to give to charity, strengthen their relationship with God, and show kindness and patience. That's taken on greater importance as Turkey recovers from February's disaster that has now killed more than 50,000 people and forced many to leave their homes. 
In this episode: 

Emad Nasher, Syrian NGO worker living in Gaziantep
