“My daughter and to all those graduates this year across the country, as the great poet Khalil Gibran said. “Your children are not your children they are the sons and daughters of life longing for itself. You may give them your love but not your thought’s,

You may house there bodies not not there souls , for there souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, buys seek not to make them like you. For life goes goes not backward or tarries with yesterday.

You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and he bends you with his might that his arrow may go swift and far. Let your bending in the archers hand be for gladness; For even as he loves the arrow that flies, so he also loves the bow that is stable.”

After being welcomed by the association's President, Nadia Al Rabadi, board members updated the Queen on their activities, issues, and future goals. Through activities aimed at fostering a safe and healthy environment in the governorate, the association aspires to financially empower Ajloun's women and girls while also raising awareness about environmental and health concerns.

Her Majesty met over breakfast at Al Bayt Al Reefi with beneficiaries, including those funded by the RHC revolving fund, at the association.

The project's financing will be managed by ten civil society groups. The groups were given a JOD 59,500 revolving fund and were trained to administer it on their behalf of recipients communities.
