Here's what inspires the White Helmets, Syria's special group of heroes

In the war-torn Middle East, a special group of heroes is working tirelessly to rescue those who are negatively affected by opposition areas.

Syria Civil Defense — also known as the White Helmets — consists of around 3,000 volunteers who put their lives on the line to keep civilians safe from perilous attacks and harmful destruction.

Khaled Khatib and Mounir Mustafa, two White Helmet volunteers, attended Mashable's 2017 Social Good Summit on Sunday to speak with actress and UNDP Goodwill Ambassador Connie Britton about the group's mission.
