00:00It's very important that today this wonderful lady, Zelka, who was the little girl in the blue coat in the
00:07iconic photograph, has agreed to be filmed today.
00:11It is an iconic photograph because Zelka, because I'm a mum now and I have my daughter, Maya,
00:17and I wish that all the displaced refugees, children, women, parents, fathers, everyone to realise there is hope.
00:30You can rebuild. You can rebuild. We are going to help you rebuild.
00:36You are not on your own. And this, if this is not a testament to strength and courage and to
00:41really, really show that every single person right now running across the borders from the Ukraine,
00:47or Afghanistan, Yemen and Syria, displaced people, this lady who was the little girl in the iconic photograph, age four,
00:58that wore the blue coat when she was four years old.
01:02And here she is today as a mother. Here is the blue coat. Here is the story.
01:07And what we've done today with the Montessori group and with myself, we have decided to support completely her dream,
01:14which is to build a memorial site. And so we will renovate the building opposite to where we are now,
01:24which was very close to where the war originally started, in order that we remember every single person that gave
01:34their lives in that war.
01:37So this is hope. And little red, little blue and myself, with Montessori group, are saying, don't give up.
01:48You have hope. And to all those children out there, little red, little blue, blue coat, age four.
01:55And our mom, she did it.
01:57And our mom, she did it.
