#LullabyofHope

‘Frequencies of Peace’ initiative from Babyshop and leading researchers replaces sounds of war with the sounds of a lullaby to bring comfort and hope across the Middle East

Syrian refugee children from Koura Informal Settlement, Northern Lebanon, watching a UNHCR-supported puppet show called ‘Train of Happiness’.
