Long after the fleeting coverage of dramatic violence has aired and gone, war’s injured survivors need support as they strive for recovery. This slow process of healing and adaptation is at the heart of the Foundation for the Social Promotion of Culture’s latest initiative in Jordan with vulnerable Syrians and Jordanians with disabilities.

In the Ramtha, Karak and Ma’an governorates, in partnership with OCHA, the FPSC will assess the needs of 787 Syrians and 263 Jordanians with disabilities, and provide over 70% with therapeutic referrals and mobility aids such as wheelchairs, crutches and braces. In Zaatari Refugee Camp, a mobile clinic permanently staffed with a physiotherapist, occupational therapist, and technicians will be established to likewise identify and supply nearly 500 inhabitants with disabilities and the elderly with movement aids and therapy. The Spanish foundation will also educate families and communities about the best treatments for and the rights of the disabled.

Jennifer MacKenzie

Poet, writer and teacher Jennifer MacKenzie grew up on Bloomcrest Dr. in Bloomfield Hills, MI, which inspired her to wonder about places with patterns other than floral. Following her education at Wesleyan University's College of Letters and the University of Iowa's Writers Workshop, she followed a zig-zag course that included a pilgrimage across the top of Spain and a long sojourn in Syria in pursuit of the language of Muhammad al-Maghout and Moudthaffar al-Nawwab. While in Damascus she completed the books of poems "Distant City" and "My Not-My Soldier" (forthcoming from Fence Books) and edited the magazine Syria Today. Her poems and essays can be found in numerous journals including the Kenyon Review online, Guernica, Quarterly West, and Lungfull. She currently lives in New York.
