Project coordinator at SHABAB project
  • Syria - Damascus
  • October 2005 to October 2007

My most recent roles in SHABAB involved strategic planning, budgeting, and fundraising; as well as coaching,
supporting and managing more than 25 staff members distributed on five different regions in Syria. Moreover, it
entailed managing a financial portfolio that developed from 50, 000 USD in 2007 to more than 3, 100, 000 USD in 2010.
All of the above required intensive interaction and collaboration internally within the Trust, and externally, with several
governmental and non-governmental local and international organisations. That also provided me with several

Fundraising and Human Recourse Management and Development. My scope of work also allowed me to work closely

the region, and allowed to play a vital role within my organisation as a member of the executive board of the Trust; the
