Saudi female student teaches poor kids for free

She is a private tutor to numerous poor kids. In any case, she doesn't charge any educational tuition expenses. 

Saudi female understudy at Abdul Rahman Bin Faisal University in Al-Khobar, Zahra Hashem Al-Moslem,takes time off from her weekly schedule to teach poor kids. 

She told to Al Arabiya English that the thought stared a year ago when she was sick and being treated at a clinic. 

“On my way to hospital I saw a boy carrying his book, and asking people for money... I sat next to him and opened his book and began explaining to him some of his studies.

she said, “After that I fell in love with the idea of teaching the children belonging to needy families. The challenge was how to start and where to advertise for it.”

Zahra said that she started conveying fliers in poor neighborhoods of Al-Khobar. 

“I began telling the children of these neighborhoods that anyone who needs a private tutor for free that I’m capable of doing that.”

It was challenging for her at first to know where she would give her private classes, until she thought of a colleague who lived nearby, and began teaching the students at her place.

“At first I started by teaching a girl and a boy, then four girls and two boys,” she said.

Given that she lives on her school grounds, Zahra couldn't consistently request authorization to leave, so she expanded the hours of her private class to three to cover the youngsters' school educational modules. 

When asked if she gets financial support to implement these ideas, she replied: “I am a student and I live on my university stipend from teaching the preparatory year students at university. I invest in teaching the needy children,” she said.
