Volunteers and people from every religion and background praying for the safety if the Syrian people will come together at the Church of St. Anthony of Padua on İstiklal Avenue to celebrate Christmas and raise money for Syrians who are trying to survive in war-torn Syria.

The event is organized as a part of U.K.-based NGO Singing for Syrians. Singing for Syrians encourages individuals, local communities, churches and schools across the U.K. as well as around the world. The money raised from these events will be distributed inside and around Syria to some of the most vulnerable people affected by the crisis.
