Alaa Sbih

Fifteen years ago, I was living in Syria.  I lived in a beautiful house in a place called the Maidan.  We had a large garden and there were fruit trees and wonderful colourful flowers. 

Every morning I woke up to the chirping of birds and the smell of delicious bread from the nearby bakery.  My mother would send me to the bakery to get bread and after this I used to break my fast with my family. 

The street where I lived in Maidan
Friday fava beans

I used to do this every day, but Friday was a very special day because it is a blessed day for Muslims, and it has blessings.  There is a special dish which is the fava beans that most people eat on Friday. 

They were very beautiful days and I hope they will come back so that my children can live them.
