<p>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. </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>It includes:</p>
<p>* How the regime and freedom armies changed during the time of the revolution.</p>
<p>* When he decided to quit the army and attempted to leave Ghouta and reach Idlib.</p>
<p>* How he and his brother went through a gruelling journey to immigrate to Turkey.</p>
<p>I will be sharing more tales from my time in Istanbul and the fourth part of Benjy's story in tomorrow's podcast.</p>
