Summary
"<i>25 Million Sparks</i> takes readers inside the Za'atari refugee camp to follow the stories of three courageous entrepreneurs: Yasmina, a wedding shop and salon owner creating moments of celebration; Malak, a young artist infusing color and beauty throughout the camp; and Asma, a social entrepreneur leading a storytelling initiative to enrich children's lives. Anchored by these three inspiring stories, as well as accompanying artwork and poetry by Malak and Asma, the narrative expands beyond Za'atari to explore the broader refugee entrepreneurship phenomenon in more than twenty camps across the globe. What emerges is a tale of power, determination, and dignity -- of igniting the brightest sparks of joy even when the rest of the world sees only the darkness." --Book jacket
