FROM TRAGEDY COMES HOPE Meet Ola AlSaadi. She fled Iraq with her husband in 2012, carrying with her the trauma and tragedy of a country in constant conflict. Her own father lost his hand in one of the wars. After several years in America making ends meet, Ola found a home at CCD, where she secured crucial scholarships with the help of CCD’s TRIO Student Support Services. Ola completed her Associate of Science Degree here at CCD and transferred to a 4-year university to pursue her Bachelor’s degree in Bio-Engineering. Ola plans to learn the latest advancements in prosthetics and 3-D printing to help people like her father.
