We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our guests due to land at CVG later today.

Marina Musa Nakhleh Hanhan, the principal at the National Patriarchal College Al-Ashrafieh in Amann, Jordan, will be instrumental in bringing  administrators of LP schools into the loop of Talents Unlimited  training. She will work on preparing a presentation for administrators so that they will understand the program and support teachers who are being trained.

Marina lives with her mom. She has one brother, one sister and five nieces and nephews. She enjoys reading, singing, traveling and shopping.

 Amal and Marina
