Obadah
Obadah, a ninth-grade Syrian student at Abu Ubaidah School in Madaba, struggled for years with traditional academic subjects and felt uncertain about his future. While his family believed the vocational and technical education track (BETC) might suit him, Obadah lacked clarity about what this pathway meant.
Through the Thematic Weeks initiative, delivered in collaboration with the Abdul Aziz Al Ghurair Refugee Education Fund and the Madrasati Initiative, Obadah explored vocational education through hands-on workshops, interactive discussions, and family-engaged activities. A visit to Luminus University proved transformative—especially the hospitality and culinary labs, where he discovered a strong sense of belonging and a new passion.
Today, Obadah confidently understands the vocational pathway and plans to pursue hospitality studies. With his family’s support, he now sees his future with confidence, inspired by opportunities made possible through the Abdul Aziz Al Ghurair Refugee Education Fund.
