Dear GAU Global Knowledge Community

Dear GAU Global Knowledge Community,
From the days of waking up to days and nights of fear and apprehension, to waking up to mornings full of new and high hopes; From the years of voicelessness, war, captivity, poverty and void to learning how to hold on to life by filling that void with love, psychosocial and personality growth; and in this time witnessing the emergence of a notion with me, on a parallel existence -all from the age of five.
A thesis that gave spread into existence to an absent, non-existent higher education system, actually starts with the story that involves waking up to a new day with a pair of naked feet, old sandals an outfit from ancient. We actually live in a present that was constructed for us 35 years in advance that emerged with a notion, setting and actors.
We always presume that we were the patriots of the destiny that we are leading.
Waking up again with those naked feet, in those old sandals, and in that outfit was actually waking up with a feeling of purpose, everyday, for next thirty five years, to fight for the founding, growth and development of all that we are living with and living for.
A present that started with a notion, and a life journey that was established with us, our being and our existence.
I can see our 50th year, on this very moment as we stand with our incredible achievements and our being on this 35th anniversary.
My mission is to witness the arrival of our present to our 50th year with you, to bear witness to our new life. To be the light of the universe for thousands of people.
We are living a moment, a time that was given to us, in which we are giving birth to so many inspiring, exquisite projects.
One day, you will get the chance to hear the story of how a pair of naked feet, in old sandals, wearing an ancient outfit has come to have a success story –the story of GAU’s founding, it’s growth, existence and its development.
On this eternal moment where the past that assembles the future, with your esteemed presence, once again.We Are One As One.We are on our eternal journey of our Destiny.
