WASHINGTON – Nine-year-old Ahmad Alkhalaf smiles easily as he talks in Arabic about his dreams. He wants to go to school and grow up to be a doctor – to help others. But, before that he wants Americans to know him and also learn about other Syrian children and the suffering many have had to endure through an ongoing civil war.
When the president delivers his State of the Union address Tuesday night, Ahmad will be there, along his father, as Moulton’s guest.
