Anyone know an IELTS/TOEFL or general English test instructor urgently? I’m working with a student from Gaza through the Scholarships for Gaza initiative who just got an unconditional offer from the University of Manchester. The university has arranged a special English test for her but she has only one week to prepare. This is an opportunity that’s not easy to come by and she has worked really hard to get here.
If you can help or know someone who can do a few targeted intensive sessions, please reach out.
Shares appreciated as well!

Apocalyptic scenes in Lebanon’s capital right now.
Israel has launched 100 airstrikes on Lebanon in 10 minutes.
Striking South Lebanon, Beirut and the Bekaa Valley simultaneously.
This isn’t a ceasefire.
It’s mass bombardment of civilian areas.
🎓A dear friend of mine has received multiple Master’s in Education offers from Ivy League universities including Harvard, Columbia & UPenn.
She is a Fulbright alumna who has spent years on the ground in Cairo dedicating her career to education for underprivileged communities.
She needs a financial grant to be able to accept one of these offers and bring that expertise back home.
If you are, or know, a foundation or sponsor who can help, please reach out.
She also previously interned at the Sawiris Foundation and would love to reconnect with @NaguibSawiris or anyone in his network.
Acceptance letters available on request. Please retweet.

In the late '90s, Palestinian Aljazeera presenter Jamal Rayan confronted 'israel's' foreign minister live on air:
'Shimon Peres, your house is on my land, and I have the documents. When will the refugees return?'
Peres replied: 'You Arabs have many countries, we will find somewhere for you to go'.
Rayan came into work the next day with the legal documents expecting a scolding but he was warmly welcomed by his colleagues and kept his job until his final day.
Rayan later explained that his father was a farmer in Haifa. He said that land was the most precious thing to him. Rayan carried those deeds his whole life.
Today, he returned to his Lord before he could return to his land.
May God have mercy on his soul.
Indeed, to God we belong, and to Him, we shall return
