Our 12th story from the Al Hakawati series comes from the Author Barnaby Rogerson, who reads his piece 'Dream at Tartus'. Barnaby is a leading British travel author and publisher and has written several travel books as well as a biography of the The Prophet Muhammad. We are so grateful to Barnaby for agreeing to be one of our Storytellers and reading such an interesting piece. Please listen, enjoy and share.

We hope you enjoy listening, and if you do, please consider making a donation to the Hands Up Foundation online here. While the world rightly focusses on COVID-19, it is so important that we do not forget those suffering in other ways. Hands Up funds vital health and education services in northern Syria and Lebanon. These services don't only provide schooling and care for patients, they also promote stability and hope. COVID19 threatens their continuation and we are determined to do all that we can to keep them going. Any donation you feel able to give will make a difference. Thank you.
