Fabulous to see! Brilliant example of the value to livelihoods and the complimentary impact of organisations such Turquoise Mountain and World Monuments Fund as part of vital cultural protection work #culturalprotectionfund @BritishArts

[John Darlington 𓅪 @JontyDarlington]

In 2017, 40 Syrian refugees & local Jordanians walked into our Stonemasonry training centre in Mafraq, Jordan

None could carve

Today some are with Turquoise Mountain, carving beautiful stone objects & making a living from it!
