It has been a year of so much conflict for the war-torn country but you, the people of Wearside, have tried your utmost to make a difference.
You have fundraised, collected much-needed clothes and blankets, sang and had your faces painted in support.
The Mackem spirit has shone through and here is a Sunderland Echo photo reminder of your generosity.
