On June 6, what was supposed to be a happy outing for a group of orphans turned into an unimaginable nightmare. The minibus that was carrying these children, loaded with their dreams and hopes on their journey towards a day of fun and joy, away from their difficult circumstances in boarding school, tragically overturned on a bumpy road, throwing their aspirations into the depths of the Orontes River.
