Announcing the 2022 Virtual Nakba Tour

 

The 2022 Nakba Tour is now available to schedule.  Our team from Lebanon, composed of four outstanding Palestinian women, are able to speak virtually about their lives and what it is like to be a stateless Palestinian.

Ruba Abdel Jawad graduated from Beirut Arab University in Civil and Environmental Engineering. She has been an engineer, designer and estimator in Beirut and Kazakhstan, and also a private tutor in math, physics, biology and chemistry.  She is pursuing further education in Social Studies at the Lebanese University.

 

 

Samar Mohamad majors in nursing at the American University of Beirut. She is a Palestinian Diploma student at The Academy of Refugee Studies. She is a Research Assistant at her faculty and has volunteered at AUBMC hospital during the Beirut blast and the COVID-19 pandemic.
