Millions of images flood our screens every day.

So it's saying something when one photo grabs everyone's attention.

In summer 2016, it was a shot of Omron Techniche, a five-year-old refugee from the Syrian city

of Aleppo, where war had sent millions fleeing for their lives.

Omron was injured in an airstrike, and in the photo he's sitting in an ambulance, bleeding

and covered in dust, with the look of shock on his face to be heartbreaking on a grown

soldier.

He's so little, his feet barely reached the edge of the seat.

Half a world away, in Scar's Dill, New York, a six-year-old kid named Alex saw that photo

and decided to write a letter to President Obama.

A month later, a United Nations summit that the United States organized to secure more

help for refugees.

I watched Obama read Alex's letter aloud.

He said he wanted Omron to come live with him and his family.

Since he won't bring toys, Alex wrote, I will share my bike and I will teach him how

to write it.

I will teach him addition and subtraction.

My little sister will be collecting butterflies and fireflies for him.

We can all play to give him.

We will give him a family and he will be our brother.

Those are the words of a six-year-old boy.

He teaches us a lot.
