Syrian refugee children in Jordan draw pictures for Australian bushfire survivors
More than 12,000 kilometres from Australia, in a small town in Jordan, nine-year-old Syrian refugees Ayman and twin brother Anas Tahleh began drawing pictures of kangaroos and koalas to lift the spirits of Australian bushfire victims.
While there are no kangaroos where they live, they could still picture animals living among the lush green and gold landscapes in outback Australia.
Anas and Ayman first heard about the out-of-control bushfires that shook Australia in their group art therapy classes.
They, along with several other refugee children, said they were devastated when they heard how bad the fires had impacted the Australian people and wildlife.
"It is unbelievable how fires could go for weeks. I hope it rains a lot," Anas said.
