Adnan's Smile.. How Precious It Is!

By Abdulrazak Madi | Project Leader

How can a child's smile mean so much? How can a small face, filled with exhaustion and deprivation, regain the spark of hope after years of hardship?

Adnan, a young man not yet eighteen, has lived a life unfit for a child his age. He lost his father early on and was forced to leave school to become the breadwinner for his family. Imagine how a child can bear such enormous responsibility? How could he spend his days between the heat of the oven and the smell of dough, surrounded by merciless machines, while dreaming only of being like other children... dreaming of a normal life, dreaming of returning to school.

Today, the moment of change has come. A moment that had a profound impact. A moment you made happen.

For the first time in years, Adnan regained his smile, thanks to your generosity. Today, Adnan stands at the threshold of a new life, as he joined the "Masarat" initiative and returned to pursue his dream after years of interruption. For the first time, he feels that someone cares about him, that his future is still ahead of him, and that his smile can return.

The joy that filled his heart is indescribable. That moment when he returned to the classroom was a moment of rebirth for him.

And here lies your most important question: What if you weren’t there? What if this opportunity hadn’t reached Adnan? Your impact is not momentary; it is a lasting change that accompanies him in every step he takes toward a better future.

So, will this moment, which brought joy to Adnan's heart and restored his future, be the beginning of other stories like his?

Questions That Inspire, Giving That Opens Doors!

By Abdulrazak Madi | Project Leader

Do you remember the feeling when your teacher asked you a question that changed the way you think?

That small moment was more than just an educational moment; it was a moment of discovery, a challenge, a spark of creativity. Just like the questions posed to our students today, which represent a turning point in their educational journey. Every question is the beginning of a new vision, a deeper insight, a query that leads to broader knowledge.

In our journey with our students on the path of school education, we don’t ask ordinary questions. We teach them how to think, how to seek answers themselves, how to become leaders of their own future. The questions we present to our students are designed to stimulate critical thinking, motivate their participation, challenge their ideas, and spark their minds. These are more than just questions... they are keys to a future full of possibilities.

Through closed-ended questions that build confidence, open-ended questions that broaden their thinking horizons, and analytical questions that make the student rethink everything they know—we empower our students to search for new answers and let their ideas soar to new heights.

"The human mind reacts to questions as if they are keys opening locked doors. Questions are not just a way to receive information, but they are engines for the mind, they cement understanding and nurture debate and discussion skills," as Arabic language teacher once told us.

Imagine for a moment... a student sitting in a classroom, engaging with a question posed to them, feeling excited, challenged, and perhaps even amazed!. Those questions, which at first seem ordinary, are in fact the starting point of an educational journey filled with achievements. They boost their confidence and push them to discover new boundaries of their ideas.

Every question asked is a new opportunity. Every answer a student uncovers is a step towards a better future. With your support, we can offer them more than just education. We can offer them a life full of possibilities and new ways to view the world. Your giving today is the impact that will last forever.

You are the force of change. And with your support, we create a world full of opportunities for our students.

Safaa Graduated... You Are the Maker of Joy!

By Abdulrazak Madi | Project Leader

Safaa's Graduation Certificate

Have you ever paused for a moment and reflected on the impact of the good you have done? What if that impact manifested as a tangible achievement, as the realization of a dream for a dedicated student? Today, we bring you the fruit of your generosity, an achievement that speaks for itself and touches your heart directly.

Perhaps the previous picture wasn’t clear enough for you, or maybe you couldn’t read it, but it carries profound meaning. It symbolizes the impact of your kindness—it’s Safaa’s graduation certificate, our student who embarked on her educational journey thanks to your generous support two years ago.

How do you feel today?
When you read about Safaa’s success story, a graduate of the English Language Department in 2024 with a GPA of 83.27 (very good), doesn’t it fill you with pride and joy? This joy is not hers alone; it’s your joy too. Because you were part of this journey, and your generosity is what enabled her to reach this point.

Safaa was eager to thank you personally. She sent a message filled with love and gratitude, expressing her sincere feelings and appreciation for what you’ve done. In her message, she said:

"To everyone who supported my education and lifted the fog of ignorance with the gentle winds of knowledge, thank you... A special thanks to the Mubadara Masarat team for their continuous efforts throughout 2022. Thanks to you, I am a graduate today. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."

Aren’t her words touching? Don’t they convey the immense gratitude every student holds towards you? These words are not merely a thank-you for your help; they are an expression of deep appreciation for your belief in her ability and her future.

Dear partner, your generosity doesn’t end today. What you’ve given will continue to have a lasting impact on Safaa’s life and on the lives of all those she will educate or guide in the future.

This is not the end of the story, but rather the beginning of the good you set in motion. Safaa is just one of many examples of what can be achieved when hearts and kind hands unite to support education.

We thank you deeply and know that your generosity will continue to bring about such successes.
