Ahmed Al-Khazan, Teacher<br />
<strong>The</strong> Orphanage Home, Al-Sabeen, Sana’a, Yemen<br />
Since my childhood, I have been suffering from trouble, poverty, <strong>and</strong><br />
loneliness. My father died when I was young, <strong>and</strong> I worked to provide a living<br />
for me <strong>and</strong> my brothers. I used to watch children play <strong>and</strong> have fun with their<br />
parents as they went to school with their school uniforms <strong>and</strong> beautiful bags.<br />
I used to hug my mother <strong>and</strong> kiss her <strong>and</strong> tell her that our conditions<br />
will improve when I complete my education <strong>and</strong> get a job. After a while<br />
my mother moved me to study in the orphanage. When we went to the<br />
director he welcomed us. It was the first day for me without my mother.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Orphanage House provides me with food <strong>and</strong> education. I work hard<br />
here. I love to learn <strong>and</strong> I am happy with my new classmates.<br />
I feel I am stronger now. I will complete my education <strong>and</strong> help my family. I<br />
am learning <strong>and</strong> excelling. <strong>The</strong> teachers are supporting me. I am encouraging<br />
students who face problems, <strong>and</strong> advising them to be patient <strong>and</strong> not to give<br />
up in difficult times.<br />
