Tarik Ahmad Tawfeeq Abu Laban  

I was born on April 2, 1976 in Egypt. I was so weak, they had to put me in an incubator. The doctors diagnosed that I had Meningitis. They started treatment in Egypt and after that in Saudi Arabia where my father was working.

I completely recovered from the disease ,but it left me with head tremors and general weakness. All this affected me socially and psychologically.

 I got a BA degree in Lab Technology despite all my financial, social, and psychological problems.

I would love to further my studies and get a higher degree if I find the means.

My message to all is not to give up and to continue working  in spite of all life's miseries.
