KATRINA (THE U.S.A)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Volunteered From JANUARY 2022 TO MARCH 2022<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

2022 Habibi Center was the experience I had dreamed about for half of my life. The program they offer to children-teens is amazing, an extended helping hand where the need is not only desperate but crucial. Habibi provides comfort to so many without parents to help them with structure in their lives (If you can imagine not having parents in your teens) the teens I taught, taught me a lot about resilience. I am grateful for this opportunity and am proud that I now have it as a part of my life. The teachers are so welcoming, they know how to make you feel right at home. Stephanie and Alex have done a fabulous job keeping the program going, constantly adding new elements to branch out into new ways to provide for their students\u2019 future. There are not enough words to put it into how wonderful it feels to be a part of, but in a few words I will say.. they are preparing students for a bright and positive future from the worst of situations and succeeding!!!
