EMPLOYMENT RECORD April10 – date Ambassador of the Water Embassy to Jordan.

The Water Embassy, a non-profit making association under French Law, was created in 2006 after observing that in the world there is an unequal access to water. The association’s goal is to work on water-related problems in developing countries. Its action revolves around a number of themes: awareness raising, training, information, accomplishment. With the support of the Seine Normandy Water Agency, the association organizes, among other actions, Water Classes for students of all levels, as well as decentralized cooperation projects based on the Oudin Santini Act which provides that 1% of each water bill could be invested in the construction of infrastructures in developing countries.

To achieve the goals of the Embassy, in 2008 it lunched “The Mediterranean Union for Young Water Ambassadors, UMJAE” to mobilize the elected officials in the countries of the UfM so that they actively participate in the conception and realization of the infrastructure projects which would greatly ameliorate the access to water and to sanitation in the concerned state. Also to regaining a common culture between the Northern and Southern countries of the Mediterranean: The Water Embassy believes that “it is time to learn how to share our knowledge, our sensibilities, our techniques, without ranking them or judging them: the field decides, and the field is made out of human beings that one must know how to listen to”, because of this belief the UMJAE should contribute to the sustainable development in the Mediterranean region thus participating in the peace keeping process.

My duties and responsibilities as Water Ambassador to Jordan are to represent the Water Embassy in implementing its goals and activities. Also to coordinate the setting up of Water Classes at the Jordanian Universities by: 

Preparing classes by professors affiliated to the Faculty of Engineering at the Jordanian Universities.
