I am Mona, and attending school has always been one of my greatest dreams. Our school was timeworn and behind the times: worn-out chairs, cramped rows filled with dreamy students like myself, and scarce, hard-to-find books eagerly passed from one student to another. I indulged the fond hope of attending a school that enables us to achieve our aspirations.
However, there came a day that truly felt like a dream. It was the day when the Saudi Development and Reconstruction Program for Yemen (SDRPY) implemented a project to support our school with the aim of providing equal learning opportunities for all and improving the school environment.
We viewed the new chairs as pillars supporting our unity and shared dreams. Fortunately, We received personal copies of the books, a true treasure. We witnessed the SDRPY's commitment to education as buses were provided to transport us from remote areas to the center of learning, where hope motivated us and ambition inspired us.
