From the hills of Dura to the heart of Gaza, Yara moves with conviction, turning care into action. Shaped by loss and love, she leads by example — creating spaces where children can learn, play, and hold onto hope amid uncertainty.

As the Deputy Executive Director of The Gaza Children’s Village and a volunteer with Wallah We Can, she dedicates herself to nurturing the next generation and opening doors, no matter what new challenge presents itself.

In this episode, Yara reflects on the moments that shaped her path and the revolution found in education, resilience, and a better future.
