Oprah

She is the best woman in the world. I love her so much. She teaches me how to be strong and believe in myself. She said nothing happens by chance in this life. Everything is destiny and a gift from God. Sometimes when I feel sad or hopeless, just watching her on TV gives me alot of hope. She always encourages me to be more strong and to work harder to get what I want. As she said, education is freedom. So I started learning English because she made me love this language. I am waiting for that day when I will understand her when she speaks without translation. I believe one day I will meet her and tell her how much I love her.

The Safe Childhood Center

Amideast Institute had planned a trip to the safe childhood center, which take care of orphan's and homeless children, in that place we met a lot of them and did a lot with them.

When we arrived they recieved us by song's and joke's. They had beautiful voices and really we were moved by their songs which explain their sad life. After that, we played with them a lot of games and sports such as soccer, really they played better than us and they enjoyed spending time with us. Before we left, we milled around the center. We saw their bed's room, paints and their activities schedule.

At the end we promised them that we are going to come back soon because they becomes our friends and we felt how important parent's in life and we cheer them up to continue their life as any child in the world.
