In this blog, we hear from four humanitarians who share their stories on education.
For example, Noureldeen Salah, Education Officer, Gaza, State of Palestine, said: “I recently met a seventh-grade girl who ran to her mother after a few hours in a learning space, saying, ‘I can’t stop learning! There is so much I don’t know yet.’ Learning made her feel ‘like I’m flying, and education is the key to rebuilding our country.’”
And Mohamad Kinan Turkawi, Education Officer, Syria, said: “One moment I’ll never forget was when UNICEF supported children with visual impairments to learn in Homs. The number of children attending classes doubled. Seeing their smiles and the hope in their parents’ eyes was powerful. For many, it felt like the start of a new life.”
