Khalil Mansour

a refugee settlement outside Amman, Jordan

Khalil has spent most of his life in a refugee settlement, adapting to the changing tides of uncertainty and finding solace in routine. His toll booth, though small and unremarkable to most, is a bastion of stability for him—a place where he can offer little kindnesses to his community. Despite his diminishing hearing and strength, he remains deeply connected to the people crossing his path, harboring a quiet hope for the future of his family amidst the chaos around him.
