With a quivering voice and a hand put on his chest and the other beneath his head; his eyes blazed at the ceiling: “did I dare to speak?”, he said with anguish, bending his eyes rightly where his mother huddles. Hardly throwed at her a question. What has happened to me mother? I see lost movement in my leg? I last remember I was peacefully standing there among the crowd. Why this leg is bandaged? I feel pain, mother”, his mother burst in tears before he completed.
Realization
The young man Belal Mutran from the Nusirate Camp in the Gaza Strip has unintentionally abandoned his usual lifestyle as all youth to be listed among those ascribed of wounded of Great Return March. The very beginning of his misery started at the borders where, brutally, he was shot in the right thigh. But he was formed for life, not for death. He has been subdued to the cure since then more than any time before.
The Burden
The aftermath injury was such a cruel monster that took Belal’s smile, roped him of capability and left his body to be bedridden. This 21-years young man has had his share of pain and desperate before his time. The responsibility of parents who have been attacked by wicked chronic diseases besides living in a half-built house with 12 sisters and brothers, who need a source of living, has really burdened his shoulder and added insult to his injury. However, in the course of living, all colors of endurance were compelling him to act like a cohesive man who has not been afflicted of pain or poverty.
Rebellion and Irada
Feebleness is surrender. He knew that. Belal felt he would not permit his agony to cloud the whole life. He had calculated with certainty on the step of enrolling in Irada Center after he saw with a fully aware eye the impact of it on Ezz Eddin El-Sadi, the young wounded man who found job after got training there.
“it was the best ladder I step to by my distorted leg
None of the days of training witnessed Belal came to the aluminum workshop with a lower spirit than usual. He was always motivated to ford every adventure, keen to expose himself to every experience, as well, with no hindrance could hold him back. The environment of irada was utterly supportive in case of practical training as filled with raw materials that mostly must needed for work such as aluminum sorting machine, a drill, a saw, cables, a neitem machine, a pliers, a strip, an air conditioner and screwdrivers. Not only that, Belal said that he found in Irada the haven he never dreamt of before. “The friendship, the jocks, the respect, the more dedicated people to life, all were a blessing sent to me from paradise”. Once he said in favor of irada: “it was the best ladder I step to by my distorted leg”
The Glowing Star in Aluminum Workshop
To the clear eye and eloquent tongue, to the soul made of hope, Belal seemed blooming higher than his peers. His trainer Ihab Dallol confirmed that he was not surprised, when Belal ran up to the workshop, to see that the brilliant aluminum products had been successfully made; and to feel, through his face gestures, the new inner psychology of Belal. Every skill of cutting and fitting has vividly appeared in the products he made; the kitchen of Irada, the doors of friends and relatives have seen as professionally made because it made with a load of passions and love as the trainer mentioned.
Graduation and Gratitude
“Who Be live in Himself Walk as King” this was the commencement statement of Belal’s speech about graduation ceremony. Now that Belel has flourished and graduated from Taawon Project “Vocational Training for Persons with disability’, he has a dream of opening his own project so that can get paid from the occupation he loves most. “Seize Opportunity Before Lose it” this was the heartful advice he gave to other wounded people.
