In summer 2021 Horizon scholar, Mai, implemented a second community project in Dheisheh refugee camp. Collaborating with a local NGO, Mai’s project supported 50 pre-school refugee children who had been adversely impacted by the Covid19 pandemic and helped them make a successful transition to grade school. The project was funded by a Horizon seed grant and benefitted the children through academic and psycho-social support.  Following the success of this project, Mai will be implementing a similar project in summer 2022, also with Horizon funding. Mai has recently started a new job as a Senior Projects Coordinator with Caritas in Palestine.
