The determination to maintain normality is an example of the wonderful world where such seems impossible.
BBC World Service has lots of interesting Podcasts. A few days ago I listened to one that really touched me. The Documentary dated the 28th of July 2016 is called Syria's Secret Library.
"Away from the sound of bombs and bullets, in the basement of a crumbling house in the besieged Syrian town of Darayya, is a secret library. It's home to thousands of books rescued from bombed out buildings by local volunteers, who daily brave snipers and shells to fill it's shelves. In a town gripped by hunger and death after three years without food aid, Mike Thomson reveales how this literary sanctuary is proving a lifeline to a community shattered by war."
It's s disturbing listening to, but still; I want to recommend it.
