Syrian refugee Raghda Hasriyeh, 11, whacks a ball against the wall of a squash court as she practises in front of her parents in the Jordanian capital of Amman. Along with a group of other young girls displaced by the war in their homeland she has been playing the sport for almost a year thanks to a US charity -- and now she dreams of taking on all-comers. "I love this sport. I train almost every day," Raghda said.
