A few weeks ago, we decided to mix up our evening routine (afternoon walk-> messy attempt at solid foods->playtime->gradual meltdown->bath->bedtime->incredibly relieved parents) to attend a vigil campaigning for the end of the Syrian crisis. Hosted in Trafalgar Square as well as in 40 other locations around the world on the third anniversary of the conflict, the #WithSyria event gained momentum thanks to the projection created by elusive street artist Banksy. By reworking his famous "Girl with a Balloon" piece to include a Syrian girl and a message of hope, the artist added a good deal of publicity to the candle-lit vigil.
Although the extended bedtime meant our subway car was treated to some ear-splitting shrieks on the way home, it was totally worth it to go to show support for the cause-- not to mention a cool way to witness the debut of a reworked Banksy....
