Stories of Hope: A New Dawn in the Negev
from Good People Talk · host The Good People Fund
He was 16 and on a well-worn path of societal isolation, educational stagnation, and other barriers to promise. One of 14 children in an Arab-Bedouin family in Israel’s Negev region, Ahamad was immersed in a cycle of inertia common to his generation. A New Dawn in the Negev — a Good People Fund grantee — is embracing possibility and elevation … not constriction and stagnation. “The invisible students, the invisible youth, they have to know someone is looking at them … I have the responsibility to the next generation to bring them the light of tomorrow,” says Founder and CEO Jamal Alkirnawi, an Arab-Bedouin social worker. — “Stories of Hope” is a special series of Good People Talk!, where audio storytelling brings the impact of our Good People Fund grantees alive. — Read The Good People Fund 2025 Journal of Good for more stories of inspiration, hope and impact: www.goodpeoplefund.org/news-and-publications/annual-reports/ — Thank you to our narrator: Jordan Rich of Chart Productions
