TEACHERS' DAY AT MAKASSED

On Teachers’ Day, Al Makassed celebrated the occasion by honoring three of its teachers who have retired after more than 30 years of service each.

Mr Battle informed Al Makassed officials that he wishes to have continual association with Makassed, and follow on its activities and development. Mr Battle thanked Al Makassed whose friendship he holds valuably. Mr Battle had this to say on this occasion:

Quote:

“I am with you as a teacher not as Ambassador of the United States, but as a fellow teacher, I taught for many years and I honor the work that you do, you are indeed the flame for the future,

I talk to you also as a friend of Al-Makassed for many years in the past and many many years, (in shallah,) I hope, in the future.

Al Makassed is an example of a community based professional organization with a history, with a vision, with a passion for the work that all of you do.

No country, or government can provide to its citizens the services needed without the full cooperation, the full mobilization of resources of citizens organizing themselves and that is what Makassed has done for more than 100 years.

I salute you as teachers, I salute you as Makassediyouns, thank you and God Bless you.”
