One of the most famous White Helmets is Khaled Omar. Omar is a former construction worker who joined the White Helmets after his home was destroyed in an airstrike.

Omar has saved dozens of lives, including the lives of many children. He has also helped to clear rubble and remove bodies from bombed-out buildings.

The White Helmets are a symbol of hope in Syria. They are a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there are still people who are willing to risk their lives to help others.

The Aleppo Orchestra is a powerful symbol of the resilience of the Syrian people. They are a reminder that even in the midst of war, there is still hope for a better future.
