our one big lifetime. This trip was one

of that little life that I will cherish

forever. People I met were the best in

what they do and believe in. Inspiration

will be an understatement for what

they gave me. My time in Jordan

changed my perspectives and gave me

hope on how initiatives like TAMAYOUZ

can change the world through love and

compassion”.

this time, It was Tamayouz who made

it come true, through this experience

was interesting in their own unique

and special spirit, which gave me an

inspirational push for the future and a

new way of looking at the world".
