When his family returned home after the war, they faced new struggles: his father\u2019s illness worsened, leaving the family with limited income. To help, Abdulkarim worked long hours in his father\u2019s small grocery store, doing what he could to cover basic needs. But this came at an important cost. His education.<\/p><p>\u201cI struggled to keep up in school,\u201d he recalled. The pressures of providing for his family left little time for studying, and the dream of a normal childhood slipped further and further away.<\/p><p>That changed when his mother heard from neighbors about ADRA\u2019s remedial education program at the Khalid Al-Faris School. Determined to give her son another chance, she registered him right away and began helping in the shop herself so that Abdulkarim could attend the classes.<\/p><p>The effect was immediate. With the support of a dedicated teacher, Abdulkarim began to regain confidence. Creative teaching methods made mathematics, Arabic, and science not only easier to understand but enjoyable. \u201cDay by day, I got more attached to the lessons and activities that my wonderful teacher conducted,\u201d he said.<\/p><p>ADRA\u2019s support extended beyond the classroom. \u201cADRA helped my parents understand the need for education, and they encouraged me to stay in school,\u201d Abdulkarim explained, which gave him the encouragement he needed at home. To relieve the family\u2019s financial burden, ADRA also provided him with a school bag filled with essential supplies.<\/p><p>Today, Abdulkarim is back on track with his education and has rekindled his love for learning. \u201cThank you very much, ADRA!\u201d he said proudly.<\/p><p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-570cd6e e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"570cd6e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-560d5a7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"560d5a7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<script>\ndocument.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", function () {\n  const urlParams = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);\n  if (urlParams.get(\"showForm\") === \"1\") {\n    const tryClick = () => {\n      const formButton = document.querySelector('button[data-blackbaud-optimized-form-id=\"7c84c408-6cf1-41fa-ae16-7b1faf49eb29\"]');\n      if (formButton) {\n        console.log(\"Attempting click on optimized form button...\");\n        formButton.click();\n      } else {\n        console.warn(\"Form button not found yet.\");\n      }\n    };\n\n    \/\/ Wait a bit longer to ensure Blackbaud JS finishes\n    setTimeout(tryClick, 1000); \/\/ You can increase to 1500ms if needed\n  }\n});\n<\/script>\n<button data-blackbaud-optimized-form-id=\"7c84c408-6cf1-41fa-ae16-7b1faf49eb29\">Donate<\/button>\n\n<style>\n    button[data-blackbaud-optimized-form-id] {\n  display: none;\n}\n<\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>En Syrie, Abdulkarim, neuf ans, assume des responsabilit\u00e9s bien sup\u00e9rieures \u00e0 celles de son \u00e2ge.
