Islam Abofarha runs a pharmacy in Cairo, Egypt, where he also gives Blender classes - mainly to kids. He writes:
I just returned back to Egypt from Saudi Arabia to establish my pharmacy. And thanks to the god I made it and I'm now making my best wish which is giving Blender courses. I have now about 20 students from age 6-50 giving them 6 lessons how to make a simple and funny animation. The results are wonderful and nearly i'll get my crew to make one of the wonderful animation ever. For more details please take a look at my website.
Great stuff, Islam! Thanks for sharing.

That's fantastic! Teaching blender to kids is a lot of fun, and it's great to know that it's spreading to places outside of the US and Europe.
Thanks Islam, that's great!
Jazak Allah Khair :)
good job..
Islam, how great that you are teaching these classes! I looked at your website and under the tutorials I saw that you have worked with some of the problems with using the Arabic written language in Blender. It is such a beautiful written language. Thanks for this work also.
Thanks Guys for your support

i want to tell u djallal from my experience .
if u want to recalculate everything before doing something and put hard possibility in front of you, will not do anything.
you have to be happy by the trial itself not by the result
