The little boy wrote the most emotional and heartbreaking letter to the US President, in which he politely asked him to bring the Syrian boy, whose image went viral on the Internet, in America.
‘Dear President Obama,
Remember the boy who was picked up by the ambulance in Syria? Can you please go get him and bring him to [my home]? Park in the driveway or on the street and we will be waiting for you guys with flags, flowers, and balloons. We will give him a family and he will be our brother. Catherine, my little sister, will be collecting butterflies and fireflies for him. In my school, I have a friend from Syria, Omar, and I will introduce him to Omar. We can all play together. We can invite him to birthday parties and he will teach us another language. We can teach him English too, just like my friend Aoto from Japan.’
This is how 6-year-old Alex’ letter begins. The message was handwritten by him and his parents filmed him while he was reading it. The video went viral in just a few hours.
Please tell him that his brother will be Alex who is a very kind boy, just like him. Since he won’t bring toys and doesn’t have toys Catherine will share her big blue stripy white bunny. And I will share my bike and I will teach him how to ride it. I will teach him additions and subtractions in math. And he [can] smell Catherine’s lip gloss penguin which is green. She doesn’t let anyone touch it.
Thank you very much! I can’t wait for you to come!’
Alex’ message reached all the way to the White House. The best part is that Barack Obama himself presented the letter at the summit, which took place in New York a couple of days ago.
‘These are the words of a 6-year-old boy. He is teaching us a lot. He doesn’t know how to be cynical, suspicious or to fear from other people. We all have something to learn from Alex!’, stated the US President.
The video in which Alex is reading his own letter offers a lesson about humanity to every one of us.
