Most of all, we will miss her. She attended the American University in Beirut, where she earned a master's degree in biology and a teaching credential. She was asked to teach Arabic and created her own Arabic curriculum. She taught at ACS for 22 years. The Arabic Club is a community oriented club and has been so since its start in 1986.
Students have fund raising activities.
They donate all money earned to charity. They visit needy families in the refugee camps and in other neighboring areas to provide help. The help provided is geared towards the goal of having families help themselves eventually. For example providing a sewing machine and lessons to a mother who needs to care for her family, helping with fees for a training course in computer to a young lady so she can work, providing needed expensive lenses to a young lady so she could continue her course, and then could hold a job and help her family, providing money for urgent medical needs. The club has also visited the Home of Love and the Home of Peace which are centers run by the Missionaries of Charity.
