Life is full of remarkable people who do wonderful things for others. Why? Because that's just the way they are. And because they want to contribute to changing the story. They also want to empower others to imagine, create and live their own remarkable stories.
Life is also full of incredibly soulful people who keep memories alive, for themselves, and for us. That is very important for strengthening the bonds among us. It's a reminder that we share the same pains and sorrows, and need each other to heal.
At Ruwwad, the Mousab Khorma Youth Empowerment Fund (MKYEF) is changing people's lives. This program is giving huge opportunities to young people who aspire for amazing. It is opening the world up to youth who never believed they had a chance to see. It is enabling young people to own and shape their future and co-author their history books. It is a program that delivers on hope and change.
The Mousab Khorma Youth Empowerment Fund honors the memory of Mousab Khorma who was killed in the Amman bombings Nov 9, 2005.

I really don't know how you do this. You manage to connect topics and concepts in a way that stabs through my heart every time. God bless those lost on this sad day.
Thanks for this!!! Takes one to know one, Nadine!
Your last few posts have been full of inspiring people (and helpful in identifying ones to avoid). You amaze me that you can keep your spark alive and cynicism at bay; I'm sure it has somethign to do wit teh company you keep. :)
kinzi...the irony is that nadine is someone who should be one of the MOST cynical people in Jordan. the inspiration is her ability to keep that at bay.
if that isn't the definition of jihad, i don't know what is.
Nas, thanks for rounding out my "Nadine" profile to make her inner accomplishments even more amazing. That is 'jihad' I can celebrate. Go, Nadine!!
Kinzi, Nas - in truth, keeping the cynicism at bay is by design. Otherwise it's F7eis and a straight jacket!
Kinzi - about the inspiring people - they're out there. They are outside of the rotting system, delivering on their faith and passion and for all the right reasons, and not waiting for a photo op nor medal nor chest to pin it on. Once you decide to eject yourself out of the downward spiral and look around, you find them and you connect instantly on common ground.
Nas, jihad is easy when part of The Black Iris army... it's an honor to serve!
