The sounds of summer may not usually include the tap dancing feet of Syrian refugee children, but now they do-- at least in Toledo, Ohio.

A new video tells the story of a unique partnership between HIAS and Islamic Relief USA which is helping to ensure that the most vulnerable refugees in Greece receive access to legal protection.

“The strength of the American community comes from diversity,” he says.

For many Americans, summer camp means bunk beds, bonfires and bug spray. But a unique five-week day camp program in Toledo, Ohio has helped a group of recently resettled Syrian refugee women and children adjust to life in the United States.

After HIAS Greece won their right to marry, two Syrian refugees in their early 20's had a small civil ceremony near the refugee camp where they first met last year.

“Before we would sit around and talk about who we are and what we stand for. Now we have been able to act.”

We studied, we planned and we explored how we could help a Syrian family. What I could not envision was how they would help me.
