Growing up in Assad's Syria, Dr. Amani Ballour knew she wanted to be more than a housewife. As the revolution unfolded, she volunteered at a local clinic and was thrown into the deep end of emergency medicine. Growing up in a closely confined society, she dared to dream - first of an education, then of a career - that allowed her to make her mark on the world and protect the country she loves. A passionately committed humanitarian, she is determined that others will escape the horrors she survived.
