“The Children of Karam House: Healing & Ambition Among Syrian Refugee Youth in Turkey” will feature photographs and written testimonials of Karam House participants.
 
The exhibit will be on display during the One Journey Festival, an all-day festival held at the Washington National Cathedral. It will celebrate the talents of refugees through art, fashion, food, music, and dance from the countries that today’s refugees originally called home.
