Businesswoman Sana Tawil’s journey as a philanthropist
17-1-2018
In its issue of today, L’Orient le Jour highlighted the professional life of businesswoman, Sana Tawil, a travel planner and trainer. The article spotlights her charitable contributions to which she dedicates most of her time. Tawil grew up with her mother, an artist and a philanthropist herself. She was inducted into volunteering to help those in need since the age of twelve with special attention to working with the Islamic orphanage. Despite her long annual travels as well as her work as a handicrafts trainer in a local school, Tawil nevertheless continued her volunteering work and is one of the founders of Ashghaluna which is affiliated to the Islamic Orphanages and was created some 30 years ago. Ashghaluna helps widows produce handicrafts to support their children. Tawil also noted that Ashghaluna is her priority in life. She collaborates with some 20 volunteers and trains around 50 widows in embroidery, sewing, as well as in living with dignity and bearing responsibilities. Ashghaluna hosts a space to exhibit women’s work including bedcovers, embroidered towels, children’s clothing, and bags. It also organizes every Friday a traditional luncheon prepared by the beneficiaries. For Tawil, Ashghaluna is her second home and she is unable to truly describe what she feels when she is there and interacts with other women. She conclude by saying that her motto in life is: “take from life and give back, and when I give back, I receive”. (L’orient le Jour, 17/1/2018)
