Description
Siham Daouk is a virtual prisoner in the very country he entered last year as a welcome guest. There are no chains holding the 21 year old citizen of Lebanon to his bed at St. Joseph's Hospital. It's just that he's ready to go home after doing close combat with death, but can't. He's a victim of poverty in a strange land, deserted by his own countrymen. Daouk's father sent him to this country in October to learn to fly. The young man enrolled with American Flyers at Meacham Field. In the picture Siham Daouk and his father.
