A quote from Fahd AlFatesh that reads, “As a scientific researcher and volunteer English teacher, I have witnessed how literacy functions as a tool for survival and empowerment. Despite daily obstacles of internet outages and infrastructure gaps in a conflict-affected region, I use literacy to build cultural bridges that enable my students to join the global scientific conversation. Being part of ILA for its 70th anniversary is a proud milestone for me, proving that dedication to learning can overcome any boundary.”
As ILA marks its 70th anniversary, we’re inviting members to share their journeys in literacy education. Here, Fahd AlFatesh—a volunteer English teacher, researcher, and ILA member since 2025—shares his own.
