For Beirut, August 4 was a catastrophic day as a massive explosion rocked the Lebanese capital and left hundreds injured. People lost their lives and there was severe destruction all around. Now, Yolande Labaki, an elderly woman and an artist, has decided to make children in Beirut smile by making dolls for all the girls who lost theirs during the explosion.

Ever since the explosion, from August 5 onwards, Yolande wakes up early in the morning and begins making the dolls. So far, she has made 77 dolls and is yet to complete 23 more. Every doll will bear the name of the girl who receives it.
