Salim Abbudi, a Syrian teacher residing in a refugee camp in southern Turkey's Adana, found a new mission for himself: reuniting children separated from their parents in war-torn Syria.

Abbudi devotes most of his time to reuniting families with their children and has so far, succeeded in accomplishing 10 reunions in four months.

The 33-year-old English teacher who arrived in Turkey two years ago, volunteered to teach children at Sarıçam camp in Adana. "I felt that I owed the Turkish state for hosting us here, so I volunteered to teach," he says. Abbudi says he decided to locate missing children after he saw an online "missing" ad by a Syrian family searching for their children. "I noticed the boy in the photo was one of those staying in my camp. I contacted them and they came here to take the child," he says. He then created a social media account dedicated to missing children. By regularly sharing information about families of missing children and missing children themselves, Abbudi helped 10 children to reunite with their families in the past four months. "I was contacted by a family who thought their child was killed in an explosion in Aleppo. When I had them reunite with their child who was actually living in a camp here, I was overwhelmed by the joy they had at that moment of reunion. It is a great reward for me," he says. The Syrian teacher vows to continue his campaign to relocate children with their families. In the Sarıçam camp, 18 children who lost contact with their families as they fled conflict-ridden Syria count on his efforts.
