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.
School established in September 2009.
We need more class rooms, heating systems, drinking water, computer and language labs, library, playground for elementary students and youth center for all.
