After the activity, the students returned to AMIDEAST and discussed their experience. The students verbalized thanks to the Qataris for founding the center, but feel that Yemenis should also provide such services for their own citizens. The activity provided students with the gratification of helping others. Some students expressed that it was tremendously rewarding to put a smile on a child’s face.

The U.S. Department of State’s Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI) and AMIDEAST are pleased to announce this year’s recruitment for the Tomorrow’s Leaders Scholarship Program. The Tomorrow’s Leaders Scholarship Program is a MEPI initiative for capable and highly motivated high school seniors in the Middle East and North Africa who are from underserved backgrounds. The program will provide four-year university scholarships and internship opportunities at select institutions of higher learning in the Middle East to students who have the potential to become leaders.
Eligible students include men and women who represent the region’s cultural, religious, and geographic diversity and are from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds, who could otherwise gain admission to, but would be unable to afford, four years of college. MEPI Tomorrow's Leaders scholarship recipients should be prepared to begin the program in the Fall 2013 term.

AMIDEAST Yemen's newest offering, the ETC, provides students with worldwide Web access for a quick and easy means of locating information. Through the ETC, AMIDEAST provides skills workshops on Basic Internet Use, Basic MS Word Skills, and Resume and Statement of Purpose consultations.
Our Educational Technology Center also administers standardized Test Preparation Courses (TOEFL, GRE, SAT, and TOEIC), as well as English Language programs for Young Learners and Teens (ages 6 to 16). All AMIDEAST programs in Sana'a are specialized, sponsor-specific, and integrate computer and Web-based technology.
All visitors who do not have an e-mail account must attend a Computer/Internet Orientation Session, which can be scheduled at their convenience with an advising staff member.
Orientations cover basic computer use, Windows, and using the Web as well as establishing an e-mail account that may be accessed at any computer with Internet access.
Once visitors demonstrate computer competency, on each visit they must sign in at the front desk and leave a photo id (passport or identification card) with the receptionist. Visitors without id must pay a deposit equal to a full day's rental fees for Technology Center use.
Types of tailored training programs include:
Business English
Policies and Procedures Writing
Human Rights Reporting
Entrepreneurship Principles
“Soft Skills,” such as time management and business negotiations
In addition to fielding local consultants, we also have access to AMIDEAST’s regional network of Professional Development Centers, and have worked with our centers in Egypt, Jordan, and the United Arab Emirates to bring trainers for specialized training courses.
