A young man from Sweida challenges his disability by obtaining a university degree in the Arabic language

Sweida (ST): Osama Mahmoud Hilal, from Sweida Governorate, presents a model of great determination on challenging disability by holding on to the weapon of knowledge, to illuminate his life path and to employ what he learned in the service of members of his community.

Hilal, 38, in an interview with news reporter, tells how he overcame his physical disability in the limbs, which has accompanied him since childhood, and succeeded in learning , defying the most difficult conditions until he obtained a university degree in Arabic from the Second Faculty of Arts in Sweida in 2010, based on his love for the language that is the source of our identity.

According to Hilal, who is currently an employee in the Education Directorate, he volunteered to teach Arabic at the Syrian Association for the Physically Handicapped years ago. After graduating from the university, he also worked on designing an electronic program via “Power Point” consisting of 1,200 slides, in which he collected linguistic benefits for grammar, poetry, rhetoric, and presentations appropriate for students of all ages, with the aim of simplifying understanding of the material and facilitating the explanation process, because he has a slow writing process due to his disability.

Hilal not only taught the Arabic language to people with disabilities, but also taught it to many healthy people through special lessons for them, in parallel, as mentioned, with developing his skills in the field of computers and programs in order to employ them to serve the purposes of education.
