In 2012, Asmaa, her two sisters and their mother escaped to Lebanon. There, Asmaa and her sister Ayaat -who also won the scholarship, seized all the opportunities to learn and grow. Asmaa’s journey of learning led her to become a teacher to child refugees in Lebanon and to volunteer with UNHCR, the UN agency that deals with refugee crises.
