Abu-Ghazaleh Receives Director of UNRWA Affairs in Jordan

AMMAN - HE Dr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh, founder and chairman of Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Global (TAG.Global), received in his office the  Director of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in Jordan, Ms. Marta Lorenzo.

During the meeting, the two sides discussed means of cooperation between UNRWA and TAG.Global, particularly in organizing  joint program to empower Palestinian children technologically in order to become digital citizens. 

Ms. Lorenzo praised the achievements of Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh who started his life as a Palestinian refugee; and was one of the first beneficiaries of UNRWA's educational support program for Palestine refugees in 1956, where he received a scholarship to get a bachelor's degree at the American University of Beirut (AUB).

Moreover, Ms. Lorenzo affirmed her pride in the services and programs provided by TAG.Global for people in the UNRWA refugee camps and applauded its role in empowering and providing young people with the necessary knowledge. 

She also expressed UNRWA's interest in drawing on TAG.Global’s expertise; both in the areas of digital transformation and education, to keep abreast with the current global conditions such as the repercussions of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic which negatively affected Palestinian students who suffer harsh conditions in camps and schools.

For his part, Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh affirmed the importance of UNRWA’s role and its continued vital and important support to Palestine refugees, pointing out the importance of donor countries support to enable UNRWA to continue its mission.

Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh stressed that the world is still at the beginning of digital transformation phases, which would continue until the end of this Century. He further emphasized the importance of the media in raising awareness on digital transformation and in promoting digital services, especially in light of the real gap in delivering these digital services to community members as the need for digital transformation is increasing day by day.

He reviewed the integrated digital transformation services offered by TAG.Global’s specialized Digital Transformation Consulting Department to numerous institutions.
Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh also referred to ‘All for Palestine Society’, which was founded on September 17, 2011, in Paris to document the names of elite Palestinian personalities, women and men around the world in a reliable and up-to-date database. Accordingly, the database will help those who seek to conduct a thorough study about the history of Palestinian achievers who managed to make exceptional achievements in various fields and sectors, and positively enriched and contributed to human civilization.

At the end of the meeting, Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh said he believes that "creativity is born from the womb of suffering", and that Palestinian achievements in and outside Palestine are evident everywhere in the world despite the challenges of displacement they face at all levels.
