Haitham Alaini believes that preparing people through education is one of the most practical and helpful ways of securing a better future.

Alaini suggests that education could be further strengthened through the use of the ingenious $35 US computer, the Raspberry Pi.

The low-cost, low-energy device that is also capable of running on a battery connected to a solar panel provides underserved students with a window into the world of technology

Among all the dangers influencing the revitalization of these rare animals, arguably the largest challenge is defending them from the illegal trade for private pet ownership or for their skins.

Two pressing issues that are of personal importance include the diversification of Yemeni farming and securing the wild population of the critically endangered Arabian leopard.

The former problem stems from the cultural practice of chewing qat.

Another natural jewel that must be safeguarded from illegal activity such as capture and skinning, the roughly 200 wild Arabian leopards face the threat of extinction.

ECOLOGICAL PROTECTION

Of no less importance is the preservation of the country’s mosques, monuments and landmark

structures.

Another gem, the 16th-century palace of Alabhar Quarter in Old Sana’a, a UNESCO World Heritage

Site, was restored using traditional techniques and period-appropriate materials, showing that it is

possible to keep the past alive while attending to the most unyielding needs of a people.
