I am an Icelandic tour operator who has been with groups in Yemen the last 2 years. People are thrilled, adore the beauty of Yemen and the friendliness of the Yemeni people. I hope to be there next year with a group. inshallah.

I was also living in Yemen for some months few years back and I was appalled by the educational status of women. Therefore I have established contact with Icelandic associations on supporting Yemeni girls to study. It has proved hard to get reliable contacts in Yemen regarding this. The interest is great in my country, Iceland, to participate in this worthy project. I have also established a special fond to make this possible.

I would appreciate if Brita Muyad, would contact me and Tanya Al Almeer, who is working for the British Council. Also I would accept with gratitude if some female journalists would help me in this. And some good and honest Yemeni women. I do hope you will publish this, along with my email so I can proceed with this.
