Summary:
BuzzFeed News spoke to Abdul Haleem Al-Kader, who was selling pens to support his two children when a photographer snapped a picture of him in Lebanon.
"I talked to the guy I got the photo from, but he wasn't the original photographer," Simonarson said. "We haven't been able to find the original person who took the photos yet."
"Conflict News has pretty good reach — I thought i might be able to locate him," Simonarson said. So he set up the Twitter handle @Buy_Pens, urging @conflict's 64,000 followers to aid in the search.
