Being alive merely because days are passing by doesn’t sound too complicated. However, the true challenge lies in living life to its fullest, starting each day with a determination to take note of your surroundings, pursuing your hopes and aspirations, and embracing the passion that leads to success and achievements.
Today’s inspiring story is of Mrs. Manar Abboud, a woman who lives a life deserving of admiration, constantly striving towards her goals. She believes that within her lies a vast world unfolding with each passing day.
Manar Abboud describes herself as a lifelong learner, constantly engaging with knowledge and opportunities. Since childhood, existential questions about humanity, the universe, life, God, and the purpose of existence on Earth have driven her curiosity.
Manar has always dreamt of providing a platform where everyone could express their truths openly and freely. She believed in lending support to individuals, enabling them to meet their own needs, become agents of change, and lead their personal development journeys.
Recognizing that the majority of people remain unaware of their strengths, and often ignore the areas in need of growth and improvement within themselves, Manar Abboud dedicated herself to volunteering and humanitarian work. She actively participated in educational workshops and events, enriching her life experiences. Eventually, she decided to consolidate said experiences and establish the “Di3tna” initiative after participating in a global youth program, making good use of years worth of knowledge and skills.
About the launch of the Di3tna Initiative, Manar says: “The initiative was officially launched in 2016 as a group of friends coming together, each contributing with valuable experiences they possessed. Over time, more people who believed in our mission joined the initiative, bringing their passion, dedication, and human compassion.”
Describing the general vision of “Di3tna” initiative, she adds: “The overarching vision of our endeavor revolves around actively contributing to creating a compassionate society, where personal conviction and self-belief serve as catalysts for change, through utilizing one’s abilities to gain self-awareness, understand the surrounding environment, and master the tools necessary for accomplishing the seemingly impossible.”
The initiative’s methodology is based on cognitive, economic, and social empowerment, using specialized programs, events, and clubs designed to facilitate various forms of empowerment.
Manar Abboud recognizes her family as her primary support system. Their unwavering support continues to this day. Her family stands by her side in every decision or action affecting her humanitarian work. She also cherishes the support of numerous friends who believe in her mission.
Additionally, Manar’s life partner, whom she met in 2018, plays a significant role in her journey. Sharing the same passion and concern for humanity, he doubled her motivation. Through his scientific and humanitarian experiences, he continues to support Manar in her work.
What sets the “Di3tna” initiative apart, according to Manar, is the sense of belonging it fosters as “one family”. The initiative welcomes anyone who seeks to learn. It is worth mentioning that “Di3tna” is the first countryside-originated initiative that is still actively running. “Di3tna Cultural Forum” has been licensed as the official entity and umbrella organization for its work.
The initiative targets all age and societal groups. The name of the village from which the initiative was launched was not chosen, believing that “humanity is one village”.
Regarding the initiative’s goals, Manar emphasizes their nature as “interim milestones as part of a grander vision, with an emphasis on continuous progress and refusal to settle for limitations. The initiative aims to have a broad impact, bringing smiles to the distressed and offering ease to those in pain.”
“Be truthful in everything, so that the truth of everything will be revealed to you.” This was Manar Abboud’s advice to every ambitious person who seeks to develop himself, believes in his abilities, and trusts that change for the better inevitably begins from within.
