Aeham Ahmad - Ambassador

“Music is as important as water, food and shelter. Music helped me to live with hope and to stay peaceful.”

Pictures and videos of him playing the piano in the middle of the debris in Yarmouk, Syria, have gone viral.

Aeham grew up in Yarmouk, the Damascus district that developed out of a Palestinian refugee camp. His blind father, who raised him while his mother was working and to whom he feels very close, insisted that he would learn to play the piano. From the age of five he studied music next to regular school.

MHPSS conference

Aeham Ahmad, our ambassador, played at the MHPSS conference #mindthemindnow on the 8th of October in Amsterdam organized by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
