For this reason, mixing with men is wonderfully useful, and visiting foreign countries […] to bring back knowledge of the characters and ways of those nations, and to rub and polish our brains by contact with those of others.

[A cette cause le commerce des hommes y est merveilleusement propre, & la visite des pays estrangers […] pour en rapporter principalement les humeurs de ces nations & leurs façons : & pour frotter & limer nostre cervelle contre celle d’autruy.]

I helped others during the hardest days in Gaza, but now I cannot find someone to help me protect my own future.

But when I ask for guidance, a connection, or support to continue my studies, everything becomes silent.

Do people from Gaza have to lose everything before someone decides their dreams are worth saving?

I am not asking for pity. I am asking not to be left alone.

Today in Gaza, I stood again in the middle of hardship, trying to serve displaced families while carrying my own fear that my future may disappear.

Humanitarian work taught me that Gaza does not only need aid. Gaza needs educated young people who can rebuild, lead, and serve better.

That is why I am still fighting for my education.

Not to leave my people behind, but to become stronger for them.

Estoy buscando a alguien de confianza que pueda ayudarme a crear un enlace de donaciones/recogida de fondos para apoyar mis gastos de matriculación en la universidad.

He recibido la oportunidad de continuar mis estudios en el extranjero, pero como un estudiante de Gaza afectado por la guerra, no puedo asegurar los fondos requeridos yo solo.

Cualquier ayuda, guía o apoyo significaría mucho. 🇵🇸

In April I spent a week in Jelgava, Latvia, on an Erasmus BIP at LBTU.

Students from several countries, long days of workshops, palace excursions, and evenings spent figuring out a new city together. It was my second time in Latvia through Erasmus this time, and the country keeps being good to me.

If you're a student hesitating about these short programmes: go. One week abroad can move you more than a whole semester at home.

I never expected that after years of studying, volunteering, and helping others, I would struggle to find a single person willing to guide me toward my dream.

I am still trying.

But some days, carrying hope alone feels exhausting.
