Homewood High School student takes the BeardStrong 2012 fundraiser outside of HHS

HHS junior, Nashawan Mahyoub, wanted to make a real difference in the BeardStrong 2012 fundraiser for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in November. He spent the Thanksgiving holiday week raising money at Hello Market where he works. Nashawan's donation of $36.38 was the largest single contribution to the HHS BeardStrong 2012 fundraiser. Hello Market is owned by Nashawan's father, and located at 2729 12th Avenue North in Bessemer, AL.

A native of Yemen, Nashawan is in his third year at HHS, where he has learned to speak, read and write the English language with much teaching, help and support of the HHS faculty. He now assists another student who arrived in Homewood back in July. Knowing the road ahead for Nader Mohsin, Nashawan has become a mentor and friend to help Nader in his adjustment to Homewood. Nashawan's eagerness to make a positive impact on the school and community is inspirational to the Homewood community.

 

The Homewood High School Administration, Faculty and Staff are very proud of the leadership the Nashawan shows everyday, and the smile he brings to everything he does.
