My new friend Ali Mansoori, the Public Relations man at Ras Al Khaimah. Very charming--can see he'd be perfect for the job...
Moving into a new facility, Allen says this will be a 24/7 drop in center for students...a wonderful addition to the college...
Ghassan has an enormous job, being the supervisor of IT services and educational technology--for BOTH the Men's and Women's Colleges! A 15-20 minute drive between them each day to put out fires...what you might call "a job and a half" (or more)...but in spite of the pressure and responsibility, always kind and helpful--don't know how he does it.
Ghassan introduces me to Allen Copeland, the head of instruction at Ras Al Khaimah Men's College...good guy...
Ras Al Khaimah is in the rural north--lots of desert all around as you see in this shot of the College...
