Nobody said it was easy, my friends! When our co-founders, Stephanie and Toby, came up with the idea of opening up an educational centre for the youth, neither of them imagined that to run this project was going to be so complex and exhausting. Every step, even the ones that should be easy, always turned into a bothersome and high energy consuming task. We should ask them: Did any of you guys ever have a give-up moment? I guess they did. But, luckily, they discarded that option. Perseverance and determination, vital characteristics stuck within Habibi Center’s DNA, were gained from them.
JUST DO IT! This famous motto would perfectly match one of the other characteristics of Habibi Center. If our co-founders had not been brave and determined enough to pioneer this educational project in Epirus in July 2016, these youth would probably still lack any type of education. There are neither excuses nor time to lose when it comes to education. We cannot give up. We must keep equipping youth for a brighter future and do this as soon as possible.
It would be difficult to give up when you can see, touch, and share feelings with all these lovely people. Habibi Center does not work from fancy offices but seeing the real issues with our own eyes.
The Habibi Center family has dealt with many bumps in the road but, although our project is small, it is also very strong. This family wants to keep fighting until the institutions, organizations and governments take responsibility for this humanitarian crisis and start making efficient decisions.
Habibi Center needs your support in this battle.
