The Farewell

My Dearest UfM Family, 2 years and 4 months ago, I arrived to Barcelona to continue my studies and start a new life. Unexpectedly, I got a job with the UfM. I was the 3rd person to arrive after Kamal and Alaa. The challenge was overwhelming but rewarding to have been able to participate in setting up a new organization in this beautiful and lovely City of Barcelona. 2 years have passed like a blink of an eye, I have enjoyed it, lived it, felt it, loved it and grew with it. Every little step forward seemed to me like a mile of achievement. Lots of memories that I will cherish in my heart forever. In 2 years, the UfMs has become my friend, my partner, my family, my home and the centre of my life. But, change is the only constant thing in life, it is time for me to try to pursue my dreams and learn more. 22 of June will be my last working day in the UfMs, but it will not be my last day with all the great wonderful people I have met here. These friendships I will keep it for life. I have been really fortunate, privileged and honoured to have worked with each and everyone of you in the different positions I have held. I learnt a lot, each one of you added something to me. Writing this is extremely hard for me, it feels like I detaching myself from myself. The UfMs will grow and flourish with your belief, determination and commitment, I imagine that one day I will be watching the TV and will see the inauguration of the desalination station in Gaza, and I will say with all pride that I have been in this amazing UfMs one day. Allow me to thank you all for everything, basically for making these 2 years worthwhile, for your time, patience, support, leadership, and for helping me out all the time. I will miss the UfMs a lot, I will miss you so much but I am sure that our paths will cross again soon, and rest assured that you all have a little house here in Barcelona and in Jordan, always welcomed with widely opened arms. Best of luck to all of you, Aurora
