In the overcrowded schools of Tooz, 197 km from Baghdad, nine-year-old Mustafa, a boy with short-sightedness, faces multiple challenges in his education. Struggling to learn Arabic, and adapt to the frequent turnover of teachers, Mustafa’s learning was falling behind. His father, Hasan, noted the instability and its impact on his son’s ability to focus and spell. However, with support from World Vision Iraq and dedicated teacher Narmeen anAamr, Mustafa began to improve, gaining confidence in reading and concentrating better. “He has changed for the better,” his father shared. Mustafa, popular at school, respectful, and full of ambition, dreams of becoming an engineer. While Hasan works for the government, his wife cares for the children at home. Despite challenges, the family is committed to supporting Mustafa’s education. “He must learn and continue,” Hasan says, underscoring their shared hope for a brighter future.
