Once upon a time there was a girl named Awatif, she lived in Egypt in a small village.

She mostly worked on the wheat fields, it is a very hard work, Imagine an 8 year old girl working under the hot sun of Africa?

One day, a weird guy showed up on their house and was asking for the names of the children who don’t go to school, Awatif was one of them.

She was thrilled because apparently someone is building the first school in their small village. For her, it was a dream come true.

Awatif liked to watch how the school is being built: She never saw such colorful decorations, pictures, and games. This was a rare thing to see in the poor place she grew in.

Unfortunately, a lot of farmers were against the idea because they need the help the children provide.

Even her own stepfather was convinced this is a bad idea and said: ” What does a girl need to study for?”.

The donator of the ground Farouk Abdel Naim thinks that educating girls is very important.

Everyone in the village have the same opinion as Abdel’s. The school is getting expanded and everyone are enjoying the benefits of it.
Everyone in the village started sending their daughters and now they are helping their parents manage their shops with the ability to write and read and they even convinced their parents to start learning.

Awatif is now a student at the local secondary school, and is looking ahead to university, and beyond.
Currently, Awatif’s dream is to become a teacher and pass her knowledge to the next generation and she’s already being a role model for them.

the end!
