Syrian refugee father who sold pens in Beirut's streets now owns 3 businesses. Fa inna ma'al usri yusraa, inna ma'al usri yusraa.
Abdul Halim al-Attar, a refugee from Syria who was photographed selling pens in the streets of Beirut, is now running three businesses in the city after an online crowdfunding campaign in his name collected $191,000.
The 33-year-old father of two opened a bakery two months ago and has since added a kebab shop and a small restaurant to his businessventure. He employs 16 Syrian refugees.
The photograph of al-Attar carrying his sleeping daughter on his shoulder while trying to sell pens to passing motorists in the scorching heat went viral this past summer and touched people across the world.
