In her speech, Dr. Buthaina Shaaban, Chairperson of the Board of Trustees of the “Homeland Document” Foundation, confirmed that the participating stories stem from people’s experiences, suffering, dreams, their unlimited ability to give, the manifestations of their patience and determination, the broadening of their spontaneous and cognitive horizons, and the spread of their hopes despite all the difficulties, harsh days and enormous challenges.

Dr. Sha’aban added that the history of the war on Syria is the history of the activities of a homeland in the darkest conditions and in all sectors and specializations and on every part of the dear Syrian land, pointing out that the document of a homeland records a social history written by the people of Syria in all their regions and with all their segments and specializations to be a true tributary to the official history.
