On September 30, 2008, Omar Jibril, an international student from the UAE with no family in the States, was on his way to school at De Anza College in San Jose, Ca. It was the last day of Ramadan. On his way to school that morning, a driver struck Omar’s motorcycle at an intersection. At the tender age of 21, Omar passed away at the hospital due to brain trauma. Before the 10-year anniversary of Omar’s passing, his family and friends decided to come together to build water projects in Afghanistan and Rwanda. This water project serves the Nganwa village of Rwanda, which houses over 1,500 villagers in 248 homes.
