A 13-year-old student organizes classrooms in a wooden room in the Gaza Strip for neighborhood children who have lost lessons since school closures last March due to the Corona virus crisis.
Fajr Hameed, who hopes to work as a teacher as she grows up, offers lessons in English, Arabic and mathematics to a group growing in number from four students to 15 students. Fajr, wearing a white veil, said, "I loved that I would answer them so I could study them. This is my talent." "I have a girl in the first grade, and her absence from school means that she will forget how to hold the pen and how to write," she added.
While Bandar Hamid, the father of Fajr, said that he agreed to the role his daughter plays: “I told her that she wouldn't go without a shower.”
