Four Palestinian refugee students won the Kids and Adolescents Programming Marathon' organized by the Syrian Virtual University in cooperation with the Agency for Excellence and Creativity in Damascus.
Some 213 children from across Syria participated in this annual event. The UNRWA Informatics Club members, however, swept away the competition, with 14-year old Majd Abdul Aziz winning the gold medal, followed by colleagues Abdallah Odeh and Mahmoud Hameed who won silver. Wisam Jaber managed to secure a bronze medal.
All three students have grown up through the conflict in Syria, now in its tenth year. Each has been displaced multiple times from their homes in Yarmouk refugee camp. It is through education that they continue to dream of the future.
