I've always been interested in studying abroad, learning from the best. And Brazil was the destination. The University of São Paulo is considered a first class facility with a fabulous reputation. However, I was always concerned about my livelihood and adaptation while studying, especially as I am from an Arabic-speaking country. Here comes the LAOHA with spectacular financial, psychological and personal support. I consider them like family to me. First, I was enrolled in a 3-month adaptation period to be more familiar with daily practice, learning and understanding Portuguese was the big challenge for me. So much to say, but no words can describe how grateful I am to LAOHA. "
