392 Orphans... What Have You Done for Them?

By Abdulrazak Madi | Project Leader

Can you imagine? Every moment of your support has shaped a new destiny for 392 orphans!

You have brought light to their eyes, opened new horizons for them, and given them a chance to pursue education that will carry them into the future. Not only that, but you have inspired them to believe that anything is possible. Through your presence, you grant them unlimited hope. Now, imagine the joy these children feel because of you!

Just this month, we have contributed to life-changing services for them:

432 study sessions that were more than just learning—they were transformative moments, where students began to feel that they were not merely recipients of knowledge but active builders of their own futures.
8 student activity sessions that were more than just time for fun—they were moments of joy and freedom, where they discovered new skills and learned how to be part of a community full of hope and ambition.
2 academic guidance sessions that marked the start of their journey toward future planning, giving them a clear vision of their goals and ambitions, which once seemed out of reach.

But the joy doesn't stop at education. Other aspects of their lives have also been transformed thanks to you:

Student affairs services ensured they received all the support and care needed to focus on their studies and succeed.
The technical team worked efficiently to eliminate any technical obstacles in their way, providing them with a sense of security and ease.
The mental health team was there to support them through any psychological challenges, letting them know that someone cares about them and their needs.

Imagine how their lives have changed!
Every study session, every guidance session, and every moment of support has been like a candle lighting their path.
They have started to believe that life can be better, that they are not walking this journey alone. Someone cares for them, believes in their potential, and helps them achieve their dreams.

And now, can you believe that all this has been accomplished in just 30 days?

Do you see the impact you’ve had on their lives? Do you see the difference? The smiles lighting up their faces, the hope that has become a part of their everyday lives—it’s all because of your faith in them. You were the one who turned darkness into light, who gave them the chance to dream of a life that isn’t just a struggle but an opportunity.

We cannot thank you enough for your generosity. You are the one who illuminated their lives, the one who brought them joy.

This is how you build a life!

By Abdulrazak Madi | Project Leader

Initial psychological support questions

In a moment, a single word can save a life. Have you ever thought about the impact a kind word or a gentle touch can have? For someone facing a whirlwind of pressures and fears, this moment can make a significant difference.

In the face of everyday challenges, the team at the Student Activities Pathway took the initiative to guide our youth toward a more stable horizon by organizing a session titled "Psychological First Aid." It wasn’t just an ordinary workshop; it was an empowering experience that equipped students with the necessary skills, not only to cope with their own difficulties but also to support those around them in moments of need.

The session began with thought-provoking questions: "What first aid can be provided to someone in distress?" This simple question sparked deep discussions among the students, encouraging them to reflect on how to handle crises they may face or those their loved ones may go through. The discussions prompted them to go beyond surface-level concerns and view psychological first aid as a practical and impactful tool.

The session provided a comprehensive approach to handling crises, which included:

Clinical services: To meet the immediate needs of individuals in acute crises.
Emotional psychological support: To restore psychological balance in the face of troubling emotions.
Social networks: To rebuild a sense of belonging through community support.
Social considerations: To provide a supportive environment that contributes to sustainable recovery.

These steps were presented in a practical way, equipping students with clear tools they could apply in their daily lives.

Thanks to this experience, our students are now more aware and better prepared to support one another. They understand that each one of them can be the hand that reaches out to help others in moments of weakness.

None of these achievements would have been possible without your support. You are the force that makes such projects possible, and you are the reason behind the positive impact we see in the lives of our youth. With your support, we are helping to build a stronger future and offering everyone facing a crisis a new chance at life.

Together, we create change.

When Does Your Impact in Education Become a Life?

By Abdulrazak Madi | Project Leader

Academic and Psychological Preparation in Crises

In times of crisis, education stands as one of the pillars of resilience and future building. It is more than just a right; it is a means to restore life and hope. Today, our country needs us more than ever. Are we ready to stand together to face the challenges?

In this context, the "Academic Guidance Path" team organized a discussion session titled: "How Do We Prepare Ourselves Academically and Mentally in Emergencies?". The session was an opportunity for communication between students, teachers, and specialists, with one shared goal: how to continue and overcome crises.

Attendees shared their stories and experiences, expressing their desire to overcome the harsh reality. The discussions focused on practical ways to support students both mentally and academically.

During the session, the students' words stood out for their depth and sincerity. One student said:

"I set aside time for reflection and watching nature, to remind myself of my goals and reorganize my thoughts."

These words were an inspiring message to all, showing that mental balance is the foundation of resilience, and that focus can be a tool to create hope even amidst the toughest circumstances.

The questions raised during the session aimed to define the role of distance education in continuing the learning process in these exceptional circumstances. The central question was: "How has distance education helped you continue your learning in these circumstances?" The clear answer was that you, the donors, were the greatest motivation for continuation.

In one touching moment, student Mohammed said:

"If I hadn’t had this opportunity, my education would have completely stopped. Thank you for your support, which allowed me to continue my studies despite the displacement and the distance from schools."

His words summarized the suffering of many, yet they also carried a message of gratitude to all those supporting the continuity of education.

The session concluded with practical advice for supporting students, such as:

Managing psychological pressure through practical techniques.

Enhancing communication between students and teachers to provide a supportive environment.

Focusing on positive social relationships during crises.

Maintaining personal and mental safety at every step.

Your support provides students with more than just an opportunity to learn; it gives them a new life. Every moment of help from you makes a real difference.
