Boxing with the kids of Yarmouk (1)

It is a terrible thing when children are robbed of their childhood, and the children of Yarmouk have been forced to grow up far too quickly. Even so, these kids still know how to play and we had a great time with them.

Thankfully these kids are 300 meters on the right side of the Yarmouk front line - in a school that's under the protection of the Syrian Arab Army. The soldiers mix freely with the kids and are treated like much-loved uncles.
