Healing Colors: Stories of Hope and Courage

This exhibition shares the voices and feelings of children we meet through our mental health and psychosocial support activities in the Baalbek-Hermel region, where MSF runs fixed and mobile clinics. 

Each drawing tells a personal story — of home, memories, hope, and resilience. These children have faced displacement and change, yet through their art they express what they miss, what they dream of, and what gives them strength. 

Here you will see trees that once gave shade and fruit, homes filled with love, skies with birds and butterflies, and eyes that hold sadness but also courage — and new dreams growing like leaves on a tree. Their drawings remind us that mental health is about feelings, identity, and healing — even when life has been difficult. 

This exhibition is more than images; it is an invitation to pause, listen, and connect with the inner worlds of these young artists. 

Thank you for joining us in honoring their strength, creativity, and the importance of supporting mental health for every child and community.
