I am originally from  Lebanon and  grew up in this deprived area Ain Alzahab, previously known Denbo,  with sixty students of my generation. Due to the difficulties, poverty, lack of jobs, unpaved roads and hardship in life. We used to walk one and half hour in the morning on narrow roads full of hard stones and trees and shrubs, hills and valleys, to get to the middle school located in the Bkarzala village and be there at 8:00 AM. We had to do same walking back home at 4:00 PM. Our homes were built out of Mad with no electricity, no phones and the light was  and the same  of  the residents of my village was facing, all the sixty students had to drop out of school at the seventh grade and below, except few got grade K-12 and dropped out, immediately thereafter.   Except me alone. I was lucky and fortunate to go to USA and  continue my studies, after I got my high school degree (Baccalaureate second Part). I am a USA citizen and  registered professional engineer .I still  live in USA but I could not forget the  60 students that had to drop out of school not because they do not want to go to school but because of the hardship, poverty that their parents had to overcome to survive. Just to survive. Our town is abandoned, neglected and it does not have basic rights and since then little has been done. 

 
This trend of nineth grade students and below middle school drop out continues today. Alnoor Foundation is adopting a project to provide educational opportunities to all students so that the new generation will not face the same problems of being out of school. If this problem is not solved now, our next generation may not be able to do much, and they may very well find themselves forced to make a  living in an unacceptable way and they could become harmful to others. Today, students continue to drop out from school at nineth grade and below. They have no hope in education and those who have hope can not afford to go to local and/or foreign universities. My town is running into a circle of poverty, disadvantaged and under served sociaty. My aim is to have Ain alzahab becomes a good Town where students get good education and skills and prepare these students for the future. Alnoor Foundation with your help would like to encourage a democratic system, free economic system and  opportunities for all  with special emphasis on youth education and women and girls education and empowermentProviding an education opportunity to everyone who is unable to obtain access to education otherwise is Alnoor Foundation's top priority and hope you would support us in this humanitarian endeavor. For Alnoor High school to continue operating under this worldwide pandemics and other local social problems and this tragedy happened on August 4th, 2020 we need on a monthly basis $10,000 for the next ten months. We count on your help and support to rescue this school from being shut down. Any amount of contribution is well appreciated.
