«The state can not do everything for the citizens. People have to learn to support themselves, to be independent. Arafat excellence Centre creates the synergies for more services to the ward.»
«Instead of engaging in a venture to migrate to the West, we can stay at home and solve our problems there. If everybody leaves who will build the country? Our new office was inaugurated in 2006; this building is our ship for sailing our ideas and for preparing the future. That is how we give the hope to the youth and that is also an example that we give them to and build at home.»
