Thank you for downloading the third part of my Istanbul story. If you haven't listened to the first two parts, please do so first. 

They include my friend Benjy's story growing up in a war torn Syria, what happened to his mother,  and his army training at 12 years old.

In this episode, he tells the part of his childhood when he and his brother, after witnessing a tragic event, decide to escape from under the regime.

It includes:

* How the regime and freedom armies changed during the time of the revolution.

* When he decided to quit the army and attempted to leave Ghouta and reach Idlib.

* How he and his brother went through a gruelling journey to immigrate to Turkey.

I will be sharing more tales from my time in Istanbul and the fourth part of Benjy's story in tomorrow's podcast.
