How I Participate in CS

an online news service that gather information and news from amateur journalists and photographers around the world.

We also debunk some information widely published in the internet, deconstruct the truth, shred the lies and give the human part of the News, without editing content.

A dynamic personality, eager to learn new cultures, to travel the world, refine my political and social activism and humanitarian activities with my present career.
Help the world

Types of People I enjoy

To impulse independent writers, poets, bloggers, photographers, and journalists to publish their work, and to share experiences with the world.
The future of this project is to help, amateur professionals to share and earn an income.
The mainly goal of this project is to generate enough income to donate part of it to Palestinians and Kashmir Families in need, and to share with the Professionals that take part of the project.
The future of the project and legal standing will depend in the cooperation of the Professional involved.
By all means should be registered as a Charity Organization or International Trade Organization with no profits for independent partners, but the distribution of the income between the partners and the recipients familie

Teach, Learn, Share

I keep my friends as misers do their treasure,because,of all the things granted us by wisdom,none is greater or better than friendship.......

What do these numbers mean?

This summary is not a replacement for reading references; it's a quick summary to help you get started. At a glance, you can see how many references a member has, and how many of them are positive, neutral, and negative.

In the second line, you'll see how many references came from people who hosted this member, surfed with them, and traveled with them. These numbers won't always add up to the total: some references are not categorized, and some may be categorized as more than one thing.

When viewing this summary, don't jump to conclusions! Things that are negative for one person may be positive for another, and vice versa. It's important to read references carefully and evaluate what that information means to you.

Omar hosted me in Dubai for 4 nights. ie, I stayed in his place for 4 nights and he showed me around,too. He took some nice pictures of me in Dubai. I will cherish these pics a lot. They mean a lot to me. He was generous and friendly. He is easy to get on with. We share the same culture and language (Arabic language and Arab culture). Moreover, we were both cosmopolitan which was good. What I liked the most is that he is moderate and open minded. I would love to host him in Tunis one day!

Omar is a great guy. we had fun during my first visit to sharjah. He was so easy going . We enjoyed watching the festival of lights and taking pictures in the lovely Kasbah and we walked a loooooot and he didn't get tired hehehe
He was so amazing and I felt that he really cared about me getting home safely after we separated in the evening.
I really wish him all the best in his life.
