More than a year on, the uprising in Syria has proven to be among the bloodiest of the so-called Arab Spring revolutions.

Syrian refugees began flooding into Turkey a year ago.

And their is little sign they will be going home anytime soon.

In one refugee camp, residents organized a musical ensemble for the children living there.

“The Blossoms of Revolution” is probably not like any other children’s musical group you may have heard before.

Matthew Brunwasser reports from the Yayladağı One refugee camp on the Turkish-Syrian border.
