I’d never been to a church before but I wanted to see what it was like.

So I took the time this week because I thought it would be an interesting thing to take photos of, and I went one morning with my friend Mario. I wanted to do it and then I got to know about churches.

This is a mosque that we go to sometimes, though usually we go to a different one.

This is the cross. I liked it so I took a picture.

We gave cameras to 12 Syrian refugee and Lebanese kids in Beirut. They gave us a glimpse into their lives.

I’m 16. I love photography and life. I like to learn new things. I would like to become a hairdresser. I wish all the problems in my country Lebanon would stop.
