Aseel who is 14 years old and two of her classmates designed a high tech walking cane to help blind people get around. She was inspired by her Aunt who is blind. She was selected as a finalist in a science and engineering fair which will take place in California next month. She was selected from over 6 million applicants. At first she cried because her family is poor and couldn't afford the cost of sending her. But with the sponsorship of a charitable organisation she will be going to show off her invention. And hopefully she will win. I am cheering for her!
She is planning to become a medical doctor when she grows up. Many Palestinian youth have grown up with mental trauma and suffer from depression and anxiety because of the never ending conflict. Aseel is one of those innocent people who is caught in the crossfire.
She says that we should be using technology for good things instead of for wars.
Even if she doesn't win, her invention will help the lives of millions of blind people around the world. Imagine the reward that God will give her for helping so many disabled people. She will get ajar from everyone who uses this technology. May Allah protect her and her family.
Please make Dua for her and others like her.
