Hello everyone!
I just wanted to announce an exciting update concerning this project. You've sent a teacher to Al Aqaba!
Her name is Kali Rubaii. She arrived in Al Aqaba yesterday and she will be teaching English at the children's summer camp. Kali has been volunteering with the Rebuilding Alliance for several months. When this opportunity became available, she was excited to participate and make a difference for the children in Al Aqaba.
Kali has previously taught beginning and intermediate English to Iraqi refugees in Amman, Jordan. She has ten years of experience working in childcare and three years of experience tutoring students in language skills. She received a BA in International Relations from UC Davis and now is a candidate for a PhD in Sociocultural Anthropology at UC Santa Cruz. She was an active member of the Roosevelt Institute Campus Network; including chapter president, student advisor, and chapter policy advisor. She has also won many academic awards including a National Science Foundation Research Grant, the Cota-Robles Fellow for UC Santa Cruz, and 1st place in the UC Davis Prized Writing competition.
Kali will also be volunteering for our Architectual Design Charette that will be held in Al Aqaba near the end of this month. The Charette’s goal is to bring together architects and designers with villagers to design affordable, eco-friendly homes for families who want to return to Al Aqaba.
