HelpWelcome Hassan, Aisha, Omar, and Rashid!
in reply to a message by bananarama
Hassan is 17. He is from Beirut, Lebanon, and is up for adoption because his parents were killed by a suicide bomber along with his younger brother Ismael. Hassan is very intelligent and outgoing. He lost a hand in the suicide bombing, but has adjusted well. He loves animals, books, and until recently, playing with younger siblings.
Aisha is 15 and from Haifa, Israel. Her parents fled the country to seek refuge in Jordan and left Aisha to fend for herself. She is a very quiet girl who takes a while to open up to those around her, but once she does, it is impossible not to like her. She is very funny and loves to tell jokes. For most of her life, she has been a devoted student of the Quran. She hopes to continue with the religious lifestyle to which she has become accustomed.
Omar is 13 and hails from Tadmur, Syria. His parents could not afford to care for him anymore and gave him up. Omar loves school and learning, although he has a tendency to be a bit arrogant due to his high level of intelligence. He loves to strike up debates and would gladly spend all his time talking. One of his favorite topics is history, and he would like to be able to read and learn about Syria and the Middle East as much as possible, since his parents couldn't buy him books.
Rashid is 12 and also comes from Beirut. His parents could not afford to give him special care because he is blind. He left seven siblings behind him and misses them terribly. His family has expressed a desire to talk to him and visit, if at all possible. Rashid loves to play with animals and other children and doesn't consider his blindness an issue. He goes out of his way to make himself and others comfortable in any situation and always has a smile on his face. Rashid is looking forward to meeting his new family and to moving to Syria!
