28 thousand dirhams of school arrears for "Hanan", "Sarah" and "Omar".

(Abu Hanan) is unable to manage the sum of 28,870 dirhams, which is the value of the school arrears for his three children (Hanan), (Sarah) and (Omar), whose academic future faces an uncertain fate due to their father's poor financial situation.

The school administration (Abu Hanan) demands the payment of this amount, so that students can receive their certificates for the last academic year, and continue studying in the next semester.

He appealed to philanthropists to extend a helping hand to him and help him manage the amount, pointing out that he knocked on all doors and did not find a solution.

(Abu Hanan) told «Emirates Today» that he has been working in a public transportation company since 1998, with a salary of 5,000 dirhams, and supports a family of three children, and his wife is a housewife (who does not work).

He added that his sons have grown up and their responsibilities have grown with them, their expenses have increased, and their tuition fees have increased.

Last year, he became financially incapacitated after the company stopped paying the employees’ salaries for six months, which put him in financial hardship, because he had used up the simple amount he had collected during his previous years of work in paying housing rent installments, and consequently he could not pay the tuition fees for his three children.

The father added that his sons are among the outstanding students in their academic career, as Hanan, 18, completed her educational journey in the scientific department with a rate of 94.3%, but she did not obtain her final results (the academic certificate), and Sarah, aged 16, is studying , in the ninth grade, and (Omar), an eight-year-old in the third grade, expressing his concern that their academic journey would stop in the middle of their educational path due to his inability to pay the school arrears.

(Abu Hanan) went to the white-handed and benevolent people, to help him pay the school arrears before the start of the new school year.
