“Scholars for Syria” Guest Speaker
Monday, April 19
7:30 – 9 a.m.
Harrison High School, 211 Fielding Rd.
Learning about different places, cultures and customs is an integral part of high school. On Monday, students in the EVSC’s Shepard Academy, as well as Harrison High School government classes, will learn first-hand about Syria thanks to UE student Ashraf Obaji. Obaji is a pre-physical therapy student at UE and is from Aleppo, Syria. He has been in the U.S. since 2015.
Obaji’s presentation will be a combination of personal narrative and discussion about the politics and government structure in Syria. The hope is that students will leave with a better understanding of Syria and what it’s people have undergone, as well as the implications of bad political choices.
The guest speaker is part of “Scholars for Syria,” an organization working for a better understanding of the Syrian people.
