Women in Technology-Lebanon. Samia Farha Badr -Al Moltaka Al Nissaii August 26 2009

My name is Samia Farha Bader. I am a married woman. I heard about your program through my cousin who saw Mrs.Nada Hamzeh's interview on MTV. I knew that a new session will start in Al Moltaka Al Nisaii center in Tayyouneh, Beirut. It was difficult for me to understand what it is for a woman to leave her house and go study at this age, now that I am 45 years old. However I encourage myself and I am enthusiastic to go for this.
Next to my cousin, I started looking for friends to join and one of my friends seemed to be interested. Now that I attended the sessions, I can say I've learned a lot at Al Moltaka Al Nisaii.
However, the center was very far from where I live so there were lots of conflicts getting there but I had the will, what made me overcome all the difficulties. I want to be reborn in this world of cultural society and life improvement. I felt the whole world was ahead of me and I am stuck in one place since I was ignorant to all this even though I have an educational background better than the others. I felt I knew nothing whereas my self motivation broke all the pitfalls trying to stop me from achieving my target.
Back then, failure was my fear since the language used there is the English language and my second language was the French. But I had my will, faith and decision. At some point I asked the trainer to evaluate my work from the first week in order for me to know if I should go on or not and she was my boost. Because of that trainer "Amal Hamdan" I stayed. She was patient and she pushed me to communicate with her. I learned and benefited a lot and the joy is complete when I pass the exam. I want to succeed. I am studying like a schoolgirl. I feel responsible and anxious to achieve.
I thank god for this grace. I am happy because even friends and the ambience were perfect. I met some great friends Wafaa, Amaniwe never had the chance to know each other before since each of us has her family.

I encourage everywoman rather married or single, but married women in specific because they have duties to raise their children and develop their social lives. I thank Mepi and I hope it keeps on fundraising such programs. I thank MICosoft & IIE
