Somalina Posted March 26, 2011 Hiiraan University Construction has kicked off Hiiraan University Foundation Sunday, July 13, 2008 Hiiraan University has a kickoff in building its first campus in Beledweyne, Somalia, after it marked its third year from its initiation. Not long ago, it was a mere thought of Somali scholars in North America and Europe. Today, it has become a reality. Shortage of funding and unstable circumstances in Somalia could be to blame for the delay and modification of the project. Only one third of the pledged money has been received and the construction was put on hold for over two years. Now that an important step has been taken, the dream of establishing this university is in insight. In April, 2008 the construction of Hiiraan’s First Post Secondary Institution started in the midst of political and security challenges in Hiiraan. The campus will feature eight teaching and learning classrooms, an administrative center, a multi-purpose hall, a staff room, library services, and other accessories. There are also future plans to accommodate labs, multimedia production facility, sports facilities, and a computerized system which will enable staff and students to have access to online resources. The faculty of agriculture is scheduled to admit 50 – 100 undergraduate Somali Nationals in January, 2009. Located in the Upper Shabeelle agricultural land and situated in the hub of livestock trade routes between south, west, and north, the Faculty of Agriculture has the objective to emphasize the development of agriculture, food, and natural resources. It will offer traditional agricultural education, while it will expand academic and research focus into such areas as the production of specialty crops, nutrition and health, and the protection and enhancement of the environment. The college will also extend to include a multitude of cross-disciplinary approaches to food management, processing, and promotion. All facets of the curriculum are sensitive to enhancing the critical balance among economic viability, community development, and environmental wellbeing. Depending on the availability of funds, the university will undertake expansion to build a residence compound for both students and staff. The goal of the university meshes well with its obligation to the Somali people as a whole by serving as a touchstone for creating highly trained agronomists. The availability of agricultural experts is fundamental to promoting sustainable food production systems, protecting human health, developing academic research, and among all the development of think-tank. The public remains our most important supporter. In order to continue to move forward with the completion and expansion of Hiiraan University and also to transform the lives of Somalis for the better, a generous support is needed. Hiiraan University would like to take this opportunity to express its heartfelt thanks to those who actively participated in all its fundraising events and to express its sincere appreciation for their efforts in supporting this important mission. The University is encouraging those who didn’t pay the pledges made to fulfill their commitment and pay out their dues to Hiiraan University accounts at Amaana Express (Xawaaladda Ammaana) anywhere in the world. There will be no service charge. The support from the public is critical. Inquires/Notifications of donations could be directed to Chief Fundraiser: Professor Ahmed Warfaa, ahmedwrf@yahoo.com Treasurer: Bashir Duale, dualbid@msn.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You keep repeating that everytime you see the name "Beledweyne" written on these boards, so let me ask you, what is AS going to do? close the university?

The Zack Posted March 26, 2011 Now don't get upset with me yaa Shariif (OOPS TFG) supporter. I am asking the question because you seem to ALWAYS post the "good things" this TFG does and this TFG does NOT control Beledweyne. Or are you telling the good things ALshabaab do?

Jacpher Posted March 26, 2011 Good work they providing bus service to students. Big universities are good but I hope they are offering more vocational programs that can better the locals. People need skills to tackle everyday problems instead of preparing them for liberal arts and higher academics. That too is good but I think in this stage, Somalia can benefit enormously from technical program. Skills like farming, carpentry, nursing is what people need the most. That way, they'd be less dependent on NGO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Somalina Posted March 26, 2011 What are you on today wiilka xeebaha ka soo dega? When did I mention TFG on this thread? this is about Hiiran University, not TFG and certainly not AS.

The Zack Posted March 26, 2011 Not as blindly as u do. Anyways I just looked at the dates on the things u pasted/linked to this thread, 5 months old video and almost 3 year old news article? G! Again shariiifka Baydhabo for president . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Somalina Posted March 26, 2011 Again, this aint the politics section, it is the general section. Waxa ku haaya ma fahmin weli. Ama 9 year old article ha ahaado ama 30 year old video ha ahaado why does it bother you so much? is it because waxba uma ogolid gobolka Hiiraan (first the water filteration, and now the university)? Once again, this thread is about Hiiran University, and not about Shariifs, TFG, Alshabaab or ONLF supporters.. I hope inaad xanuunka kaa haaya Hiiran iska daaweyso (waxyaabo aan qarsoomin ayaa jira). Cheers! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
