Laila Ghannam, The Perfect Lady Worldwide

Maream-Jena Nabut

Women of Society, a term we have long been hearing and reading of. These women are mostly from Europe or America, and rarely do we hear of Arab women of such. However, not hearing about these women does not mean they do not exist as they are many all over the Arab world. In Palestine, they are many, who are on the top of the national and social pyramid. Their work spans from charity to putting a smile on children’s 

faces, with no political affiliations or agenda.

They do not brag about their posts or jobs, as the sole reason for having them is for the greater good of the 

society and people. Waking early in the morning and staying up long into the hours of the night for the sake of accomplishing the responsibilities she was entrusted with to serve the Palestinian citizen. You would find her by the mother of a martyr, helping her through grief, next to the mother of a prisoner, helping her find patience. These women are always looking to help and lend a hand and support. These women give their warmth and compassion to orphans, and would check on those who had suffered from the snow storm. She is a mother, sister, daughter friend and colleague. Who are we talking about? It is Doctor Laila Ghannam, 

Ramallah and Al-Birahs’s governor.

Each refugee camp, village and city recognizes the efforts of Dr. Ghannam, her efforts and actions speak for themselves. She has helped and been there with her national efforts against the Israeli occupation, becoming a role model for every Palestinian female and even the Arab females, to always work towards their ambitions and goals they set no matter how hard they may be and no matter what the obstacles they may find.

I'm not trying to just say pretty words about her, I say what I feel and not for serving my own interests. I have not met her and am in no need of any assistance or aid. All that I have said is honest from what I have seen and heard her do. Just seeing all that she does to make a difference inspires and motivates me to do the same and put a smile on someone’s face. She has taught us honesty, hard work, being giving and working for the greater good. So thank you Dr. Laila Ghannam for everything you do and represent.
