cannot take the place of government programs, nor can it
single-handedly cure the ills and disparities of society.
But each of us can make a difference in a small way, in our
own sphere, and can find ways to help that will make our
efforts worth the time and trouble we invest in them.

The Second Phase of the
GEB Secondary School Project Starts.
With
the beginning of
the New Year 2009, starts the second phase of the construction of the
pioneering project of the GEB Secondary Boarding school. The start of
the new phase was coincided by the field visit of the Project's leader,
Dr. Beileh, to the work location to witness first-hand of the excellent
work that is underway. He will also visit Djibouti, which is a strategic
location, especially that the Djiboutian members - as we all know - have
a significant role in the success of this blessed project.
It worth-mentioning that at the end
of the first phase, the construction of 4
classrooms (8mx6m each)
and 4 offices (4mx4m each) were almost finished (i.e. only final touches
are left) as confirmed by the hard-working engineers of the project. the
foundation of another 4 classrooms was also completed as follows:

darsatay oo dheeraaday intaas kore
$1,036
Lacagta supervisionka
ee baaqiga ah
$844
Total
$23,698.00
The
total amount that was made available by the Diaspora for the first phase
was US$20,000.
On the other hand, t
he
estimated costs and the planned constructions of the second phase is
demonstrated in the following table:
1. dhamystirka afarta
class ee lintalka jooga illaa talbiista
$11,754.56
2. dhamystirka afarta
office ee lintalka jooga illaa talbiista
$2,884
3. Dhismaha laba

$7,799.70
Total
$22,439.00
Considering the available remaining balance from the previous phase, a
total amount of an extra US$21,000 was made available by the
Diaspora for the second phase.
As the actual is now well underway,
READ/IQRA
website will publish the relevant photos of the second phase as soon as
they become available.

correspondence of the Executive body.
GEB Secondary School
Project is getting closer to reality.
Just
over a month from the magic day of 08/08/2008, supporters of GEB
Secondary project have got something to be proud of.
The project is off the ground. Many detractors
were
pessimist about this project! However, thanks to Almighty God and the
will power of its devoted supporters who believed otherwise. In addition
to its supporters, deep appreciation is due to the project's leader
Dr. Beileh, the
project's hardworking engineers, and the project's relentless voluntary
workers.
History is in the making. It is now time to join this
pioneering team who decided to leave a lasting legacy by making a
reality the first-ever rural boarding Secondary in the country!
Taking the role of a government is not an easy task,
but waiting a government action forever is not an option to GEB
Secondary supporters. Let's join hands and give the opportunity of
EDUCATION to the most neglected children in our homeland.
Visiting Team Reaches GEB
Area
A
visiting team of the Executive body of the GEB project, headed by Dr. Beileh,
who recently visited GEB area has reported that the construction work is well
going on it is full gear in its 2nd phase which started with new year 2009. (See
these pictures).
It was also reported
that on January 11, 2009, Dr. Beileh laid the first stone for the construction
of a mosque for the GEB Secondary school for the
estimated
total cost of US$10,000.
The GEB Secondary Project
is in full Gear.
Today
(13/08/2008) a
READ/IQRA
inspection team made a surprise visit to GEB, in which the construction
work of GEB Secondary School is already going on in full gear. As they
reached there around 11:10, Engineer
Atteye,
the leading engineer of the project, briefed the team with the following
inspiring information: So far, the foundations for 6 classrooms and 4
dormitories were completed, parts of the Administration Office was also
finished, planning next to start the foundations of 4 toilets. The team
also witnessed the high morale of workers as a whole.
Engineer Atteye also informed the team that he has finished the
assessment of water for UNICEF as he is now planning to report soon.
The day has arrived...
On
Friday August 8, 2008 at 8 O'clock in the morning, a dedicated
group
of READ/IQRA supporters (headed by Dr. Beileh) laid the first stone of the
historic project of the Geb Secondary School. Engineers Atteyeh and Bilaal
immediately started work with their workers.
GEB is 110 KM from Borama
through Baki and amazingly equal distance from Hargeisa. It is located on the
junction between the roads from Hargeisa and Borama to Djibouti.

Albert Einstein
once said “The world is a
dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those
who look on and do nothing.”. The
Awdal Diaspora from Ottawa, Canada, refused to just look over and do
nothing. Thanks to their generous humanitarian
assistance they sent to
the victims of the natural disaster that recently befell in parts of
awdal region.

The Threat of Rattle Snakes in the
Coastal Awdal region of Somalia
.
According to the U.S. army field survival manual, venomous snakes
use their venom to secure food; however, they also use it for
self-defense. “Human accidents occur when you don't see or hear the
snake, when you step on them, or when you walk too close to them.
Snakes are found in all tropical, subtropical, and most temperate
regions. Some species of snakes have specialized glands that contain
toxic venom and long hollow fangs to inject their venom. No single
characteristic distinguishes a poisonous snake from a harmless one
except the presence of poison fangs and glands. Only in dead
specimens can you determine the presence of these fangs and glands
without danger”.
Some of the highly dangerous snakes with powerful
neurotoxic venom that affects the nervous system, causing
respiratory paralysis are found in Somalia, particularly in the
coastal and mountainous regions where the population is mostly
nomads.
For centuries these vipers
have claimed the lost of lives and limbs and human fatalities in
this area. Hundreds of nomadic populations in Somalia are daily
victims of snake bites (known as Abeeso
by the locals), which results an immediate death, neurological
effect and sometimes disfigurement or damage to limbs. The attack by
these deadly snakes is much more potent at night when nomadic or
rural areas people are traveling or even while asleep on the ground
inside their homes. Very seldom do these nomads use proper shoes to
protect themselves from these deadly snakes and it becomes more
dangerous at night, especially in the absence of hospitals, lack of
available medicine and health professionals in the immediate areas.
And many people are dying under these unfortunate and helpless
circumstances. Many families have been affected by the sudden loss
of love ones and the whole communities in these regions have been
terrorized by these deadly snakes, especially when these people have
to perform their routine nightly functions, whether traveling or at
home, without light. Unfortunately, in the nomadic lifestyle people
are defenseless and have no way of saving their lives from the
deadly venom, both neurotoxic and hemotoxic, which attacks their
important organs, especially the nerves, blood cells and circulatory
systems and causing internal hemorrhaging.
We are desperately
appealing to the world to save the lives of these vulnerable
communities. All expert suggestions, safety guidelines, medicine and
material supports are appreciated.
We are also encouraging
people in the area to use the guidelines posted in this website to
help them minimize the risk of getting bitten by these deadly snakes
(Abeeso).

READ
(Rural
Education And
Development)
is a local
Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) established as a
non-profit Organization on 24th July 2000 in Awdal region of
Somalia by a group of its indigenous teachers, engineers, doctors and
administrators who voluntarily offered their time and money to
serve their war-affected community, particularly young
generations in the most neglected and remote rural areas of
the Awdal region and the District of Gabiley who have no
chance whatsoever to get access to schools in their remote
localities.
ACTIVITIES:
READ's Initial goal was to extend educational
services to the most neglected and remote rural villages in Awdal coastal areas and western parts of Gabiley District,
so READ
began its educational activities in early January 2001 and
opened sixteen (16) rural Primary Schools. However, after
successfully carrying out its goal for the 5th year, READ activities
now cover more rural settlements than ever in the areas of education by
establishing more schools (currently 23), enrolling more students
(see
this table)
and in developmental projects by establishing close coordination with
other local and international NGO's in the area to realize for the
target communities more developmental projects such as
distributing
food ration to famine-stricken areas, establishing schools, MCH
centers, etc.
(see details).
WE BELIEVE:
Education
is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty and taking control of
one's own life.
READ
DONATION
OPPORTUNITIES:
Besides its quest to provide basic Education to
every rural child of the target area, READ
NGO has a variety of giving opportunities to help impoverished children
and their families overcome their burdens. However you choose to give, you
will make a direct impact in the lives of poor children and their
communities in the remote areas around the Awdal region and its
neighbouring Gabiley District of Somalia . Your donations will help provide them with essentials for education and improve
their living conditions. More than anything, though, your gift will help
these children on their way to becoming self-sustaining adults. You will
truly make a difference.
Child Sponsorship Sponsorship is a very personal way to improve a needy child's life.
It gives you a chance to share a unique relationship with a rural child. The
program is considered an ongoing commitment, although you aren't under any
obligation.
Teacher Sponsorship Sponsorship is a very personal way to encourage a volunteering
teacher in a rural school. It gives you a chance to share a unique
relationship with a teacher. The program is considered an ongoing
commitment, although you aren't under any obligation.
One-Time Donation
If
you aren't interested in sponsoring a child, you can make a one-time
donation every now and then to help poor children.
Donation in Name (in
honor/in memory of someone)
Not
sure about the right gift to give to a loved one? Make a donation to READ
Programs in his or her name. It's a gift that gives twice -- to your loved
one and to poor children around the Awdal region and District of Gabiley
of Somalia.
Development/Emergency Donation
Whether it's a natural disaster that affects an entire country, a house
fire that involves a family, or a medical emergency that plagues just one
child, READ is there to help. These children and their families -- who
already have next to nothing -- need extra support.
Youth Program
The
Youth Program is a project specifically for sponsored adolescents that
aims to guide the teenagers in the right direction, so they can become
self-sustaining adults.
Vocational Education Fund
