"The Wait" and loan of violin to Syrian refugee

Whilst residing at a Syriac Orthodox Church monastery, where she was making a film about Syrian Christian refugees in Lebanon, Attwood met Aboud Kaplo who had been forced from his home in Aleppo during the Syrian civil war. Impressed by his talent, Attwood contacted her alma mater, Oxford University, seeking help; the administrators of the Bate Collection of Musical Instruments were so moved by Aboud's story that they sent him his first proper violin. Aboud's family applied for a visa to move to Australia, and after two years of waiting in Lebanon, they were finally granted one; the story was featured in a UNICEF campaign.
