The halls of Elhaam Academy in Queens, New York buzzed with excitement as the school welcomed distinguished guests from Human Concern International (HCI). On their recent visit, Mahamuda Khan, Global CEO of HCI, and Masum Mahbub, USA Country CEO, spent the day engaging with educators and students, reinforcing the organization’s ongoing commitment to education and community development.
The school’s head, Saffiyah Hoosein, greeted the delegation and guided them through classrooms where students proudly showcased their learning spaces. From colorful artwork to creative classroom projects, the leaders had the opportunity to see firsthand how students at Elhaam Academy are encouraged to express themselves and develop their talents alongside their academic studies.
During the visit, students interacted with the visitors, sharing their enthusiasm for learning and the pride they take in their work. The presence of international leaders created a sense of recognition and encouragement, leaving students inspired to continue striving for excellence. For teachers and staff, the visit underscored the importance of their role in shaping the next generation and highlighted how community partnerships can amplify educational impact.
The exchange also fostered dialogue between the school and Human Concern International about the shared values of education, empowerment, and service. While the visit was informal in nature, it carried significant weight, symbolizing HCI’s recognition of the role institutions like Elhaam Academy play in nurturing young minds and preparing them for future leadership.
As the day concluded, the sense of connection was evident. For Elhaam Academy, the visit was not only an opportunity to showcase the work of its students but also a moment to strengthen relationships with a global humanitarian organization that shares its vision of uplifting communities through knowledge and creativity.
The visit by Mahamuda Khan and Masum Mahbub served as a reminder that education is a bridge that connects local efforts with global perspectives, reinforcing the idea that investing in children today is an investment in a brighter tomorrow.
