In today’s session our students went deeper than usual. With the honor of our guest speaker Dr. Ghanim Al-Najjar, A human rights activist. Who came today to speak about the development of Today’s constitution and the stages it went through to reach what it is today. “Our constitution was not a gift. It went through many logical stages. Back then, it has been discussed for over a year before actually issuing the constitution of Kuwait”
Explaining the complexity of history Dr. Ghanim says “we can never really anticipate what would happen if something in history changed”
Afterwards, Dr. Al-Najjar started talking about Amnesity International and how it was created from one person’s thought, Peter Benenson, a syndicated writer who once read about a few students expressing their opinions peacefully and wrote a letter protesting on what happened to those students. Later on, he wrote an article “The forgotten prisoner”, that defended the rights of one’s own thoughts and opinion, inviting the public to stand for those who were arrested for such rights, prisoners of conscious.
Dr. Al-Najjar assured our proteges that a thought is very powerful when you have patience and a strong will to accept failure as a part of life. As well as the power of imagination to create anything. Einstein imagined Atoms and Peter imagined his organization, and this is how it was created.
