Dropping Out Of School

 

Today , We ordered some new trees so we can plant in my house , so that guy came and gave us the trees but he brought his صبي  and صبي doesn’t mean his child , no it means his assistance who is a boy about 13-14 years old max. and it was school time.

I saw a lot like this boy in the industrial areas working very hard for a small amount of money , and it makes me sad every single time i see one of them.

What makes me sad and angry is that they dropped out of school and started working real hard without choosing this life-style , either they wanted to help their families or he/she wasn’t given a chance to study.. in other words he/she did NOT choose this so why he/she should pay the price?

The government should do its best to get all these kids to school and make them learn , at least make them choose whether to study or not , not just let pay the price for their parent’s ignorance.

I’m not saying that they should go to school and that’s it , we wont solve the problem , they worked because they are in desperate need , so we should let them study and at the same time give them money or provide a way to make them earn money while studying without working hard.. I don’t know but we should do something.

There should be an initiative for that and I’m telling you that I will be the first one to help.

Nice Things .. Wrong Place

 

Yesterday I went to check out a plantation, but it was unlike any other plantation, it didn’t only contain trees and a small house , this one had trees , a house , a cavern that contained a bit of all the Arabic countries culture , a cafeteria , a playground for kids and much more.

Now all these things are nice things BUT they are in the wrong place , Why? ok let me get you into details.

That farm is called “ Lebnan Plantation“ which is a nice name to be honest , and its located in ( البقعة ) or (عين الباشا) , and its owner is an ambitious young man who knew everything about farming.

That cavern I told you about is nice , kind of small but its not finished yet , it suppose to attract tourists and give them an idea about the Arabic culture , but is البقعة a tourist place?

Take a look:

Now for the trees , I love trees all kind of them but when you have too much tress in a small area .. that’s bad. Which is exactly the case there , so many different trees there that you can walk between them without getting scratched or getting dirt all over you clothes and body. Not to mention all the trash between trees.

Future plans for this project:

It will be converted to a restaurant and a café , so the whole project will contain : A cavern that contained a bit of all the Arabic countries culture , a cafeteria , a playground for kids , restaurant and café , old Bedouin-like tents that people could enjoy.

I’m telling if this is to succeed its only because the owner is doing this project not because he wants to be rich or something but only to do something that will make him proud and show tourist that we have culture.
