Syrian Emergency Task Force

Today, the United States formally removed Syria’s designation as a State Sponsor of Terrorism, the final designation hindering Syria’s full recovery and reintegration after the fall of the Assad regime. SETF welcomes this critical step towards a stable and prosperous Syria, one in which freedom and democracy can prevail.

Hear from Executive Director Mouaz Moustafa @SoccerMouaz and Director for Missing Persons Affairs Maryam Kamalmaz @MKamalmaz at Voices of Syria: Medical and Political Advocacy at UT Dallas, a panel event organized by Students Organize for Syria (SOS). Together, they discussed the revolution, its unprecedented movement, and the role that the youth played in bringing it about.

SETF was honored to participate in Voices of Syria: Medical and Political Advocacy at UT Dallas, an event organized by Students Organize for Syria (SOS).

Our own @MKamalmaz and @SoccerMouaz joined students alongside Dr. Sawsan Rashdan and Dr. Zaher Sahloul from the Syrian American Medical Society (SAMS) for a conversation on Syrian advocacy, humanitarian engagement, and the importance of keeping Syria at the forefront of public awareness. Sharing their experiences and reflections, they highlighted the role informed, engaged students can play in advancing justice, accountability, and support for the Syrian people.

Educating and engaging communities is central to SETF’s mission. Through our own SETF student chapter at UT Dallas, we are proud to encourage student leadership and advocacy, and to support opportunities like this that bring together students and organizations committed to Syria’s future.

A special thank you to the leaders at SOS UT Dallas for organizing this important event and to everyone who joined the discussion.

Wisdom House began as a school for orphans in northwest Syria. Today it welcomes children ages 4 to 6 and gives them something many have lost: a steady routine, a safe room, and a teacher who knows their name.

On World Orphans Day, we're thinking about the adults who show up for children who aren't their own: the teachers in Syria and the supporters around the world who keep the doors open.
