Tomorrow's Youth Organization is investing in the Palestinian leaders of the future, and I want to be part of that process. I want to make a lasting difference in the community by helping others. The real meaning of happiness is in helping those in need, and I am happy here at TYO because I was given the opportunity to collaborate with amazing youth to help children grow in a better environment.
Read MoreI came back for a second class because I benefited so much from the first one. I am more experienced in the language now and the methods used at TYO are different than other places. At school we just read from the book, a very traditional way of teaching. At TYO, teaching is given in a fun way through activities. We learn vocabulary while playing- learning and playing at the same time.
Read MoreWhen I graduated from university, I wanted to work in Dubai with my brother. I went, but I wasn’t able to stay because I didn’t have good English speaking skills. So now, I work with my father in his restaurant during the week and with an electricity company on the weekends. I am studying English at TYO because I want to try to go abroad again. I love my city and my country, but I need my brother’s help.
Read MoreI hope to become a writer. I love writing. I started when I was 10 years old by writing about what happened in my day, then about what I was thinking--what I loved. Now, I love to write poetry. When I write poetry, I don't have to think. I just write, and the words become poetic.
Read MoreI love working with the kids at TYO because they have so much respect for the rules. I want to put these rules in every school in Palestine. For example, the kids only eat healthy foods, and they always clean their hands before and after eating. We have an expression in Arabic that says that teaching little kids is like carving into a stone, because once they learn the rules, they never forget them.
Read MoreI am having a great time with the kids at TYO. After my Bachelor’s degree, I would like to continue my studies and accomplish my dream of opening an English club for children. I would like to use my experience to make a lasting impact in the lives of children in the region. Children are very clever, they communicate with other children very easily most of the time.
Read MoreI thought it (the class) would be playing games, only this. But no, I see that we learn a lot of things: reading, writing, listening. But it’s not difficult because the teacher helps us very much and we understand through her. Already in the first two weeks, I have improved in the way of talking. And when I watch television, I don’t always need to look at the translation.
Read MoreTwo years ago, I graduated from university with a degree in business administration. Since then, I have been taking different kinds of courses in order to gain more confidence, to overcome my shyness, and to learn about the world. In the future, I want to visit Malta in Spain because I have heard that there are a lot of Arabic people there.
Read MoreWhen I was volunteering last session, I cooperated with the volunteers and got close with the children, especially the children ages 8 and 9. I did many exercises with them to help them write letters, and they learned them. For example, at the end of a few classes, I gave all of them homework to write a small story. Little by little, day by day, they wrote better.
Read MoreIf I have free time, I teach my younger brother. He is in fourth grade and will be in fifth grade. And I will bring him to TYO with me just to spend some time. And I give special lessons for my neighbors, the children neighbors, in English. Especially at the final exams, I spend my whole day teaching.
