This trip was one of that little life that I will cherish forever. People I met were the best in what they do and believe in. Inspiration will be an understatement for what they gave me. My time in Jordan changed my perspectives and gave me hope on how initiatives like TAMAYOUZ can change the world through love and compassion. Ruaa Al Janabi - Iraq / UAE Honourable Mention - 2016 Being one of the Winners is the beginning of an exciting journey that offers a once in a lifetime opportunity to make a difference not only as a youth, but as an Iraqi woman.

Lucia Alonso - Spain Honourable Mention - 2016 "Sometimes dreams come true, and this time, It was Tamayouz who made it come true, through this experience in Jordan I discovered different visions.
