Duaa, 27, has a diploma in education in addition to a bachelor's degree in English literature. For the past six years, she has taught at an UNRWA school in Lebanon's Ein El-Helweh refugee camp, where she grew up. She is one of those lucky people who is doing what she loves. Duaa strongly believes in this quote from Nelson Mandela: "Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world."
Duaa's other interests include hiking in the fresh air and volunteering in children's activities.
