WWE News: Sami Zayn launches mobile clinic in Syria

What's the story?

WWE Superstar Sami Zayn has teamed up with the Syrian American Medical Society to launch a mobile clinic on the ground in Syria, providing health care to those who are unable to acquire it.

Sami took to Twitter yesterday to inform his fans that the clinic is now up and running.

In case you didn't know...

Is there a better pure babyface in WWE than Sami Zayn? The Canadian superstar is currently a part of the SmackDown Live roster, but for no clear reason, it seems as though the creative team is reluctant to do anything with him.

Zayn was born in Quebec but is of Syrian descent, his parents moving to Canada in the 1970s. Civil war broke out in Syria in March 2011 and has raged on ever since, a four-way conflict that has seen hundreds of thousands killed and millions displaced.

The war continues to this day, with no real end in sight.

The heart of the matter

In July of this year, former NXT Champion Zayn launched a fund called 'Sami for Syria', where the Canadian pledged to match any donation made. The money raised was to go towards setting up a mobile health clinic on the ground in Syria, to provide assistance to the many who are without care.

Sami raised $67,000 in total, and the clinic is now up.The clinic will have a number of vital services available, along with a doctor, nurse and midwife, along with providing psychological care for those traumatised by the ongoing violence in the country.

Sami tweeted about the launch yesterday, referring to the unveiling as the 'proudest day' of his young life.

What's next?

Whilst the violence in Syria has no end in sight, the little things that individuals such as Sami do will make a huge difference to individual lives on the ground.

Because of this clinic, people will have access to health care, both physical and mental, making life just a little bit easier in the most difficult circumstances.

Author's take

I fail to see how anyone could have a bad word to say about this. It certainly isn't going to stop the violence, but that is not the point -- the point is to try and alleviate the suffering of those in the centre of it all. That is exactly what this clinic will do.

As for Zayn, when will WWE do something useful with him? They simply don't have a better babyface on the roster today, and it seems like a total no-brainer to focus on him.
