Mona is Syrian girl who is ambitious, loves life and works hard for her dreams. When we met almost six years ago in Amman she had a high school degree but wanted to be a pharmacist.
We at Bareeq were very happy to be able to sponsor her with a Bareeq university scholarship. While she was studying, she came to me and said: I want to help others, like you helped me.
She had come up with the idea of teaching small children remedial education and we did it together.
We established and opened in Amman the Bareeq Remedial Education center with only 32 children initially, and now after 5 years we have more than 350 students of all ages. Not only did Mona work at the center, but she even brought like-minded college friends to also work at the center for a year. She graduated and is now doing her master’s degree.
