"I really want to go back to school," says 15-year-old Fatmeh, "because work, work, work ... life isn't only about work."But that's what her life is about right now.

Fatmeh used to be a top student at her school in Syria. Now she spends her days working in agricultural fields in a valley, picking vegetables and crops. And when the foreman thinks that she and the other kids in the fields aren't working hard enough, he hits them with a black plastic pipe.

Three years ago Fatmeh was pretty much a typical teenager. "My life in Syria was really very nice, very beautiful. I swear to god, really beautiful," says Fatmeh,

Fatmeh says back in Syria they had a big house surrounded by a garden. Her father taught high school — geography, sociology, history; her mother looked after the family. Fatmeh had her own computer.

Her life was all about school — classes, friends and homework. She was a top student, and she loved Arabic literature. But slowly the civil war came closer and closer to their town until finally there was fighting all around them.

"Bombs and fighting were everywhere," Fatmeh says. "We lost a neighbor, a cousin and the husband of our aunt. So the family ran west, Finally they arrived at the Lebanese border. Now my work is just cooking, cleaning and the other things.”
