Instead, I took the view that, as long as these children were on Lebanese soil, we have a responsibility to provide them with a quality education in a structured environment, so that when they can finally return to Syria, they will have the skills and knowledge with which to rebuild their country. The greater risk, I felt, would have been to leave these children sitting idle, losing their hopes and aspirations, or, worse, being forced into child labor or drawn in by radical ideologies.
但是，我认为，只要这些儿童身在黎巴嫩，我们就有责任为他们提供结构化环境（structured environment）中的高质量教育，以使他们在回到叙利亚后具备技能和知识重建国家。我认为，更大的风险是让这些孩子们“闲置”，让他们丧失希望和雄心，或者更糟糕地，迫使他们沦为童工或被激进思想俘虏。
