Marwan Masri, 15, the eldest son of a Syrian doctor in Dubai, has made his parents very proud by one grand gesture.
Marwan, a grade 11 student of Al Mawakeb School, has donated Dh75,000 -- his entire savings and pocket money of eight years -- to the victims of typhoon Melor (called Nona in the Philippines) that hit central Philippines on December 18.

Resident of the UAE for 17 years, Princes Ppelorin, the long-time family friend of the Masris, and personal assistant of Dr Gehad Al Masri for the last two years says: "When I went to my boss and told him this has happened, he immediately gave me Dh10,000" for the relief materials. People don't have homes left, everything was destroyed. "They are very generous, very humble. They are family to me". She says even her friends immediately snapped into action as well, collecting money for rice, noodles, canned food -- sardines, to send back home. |
