00:00Good morning and welcome to a new episode of your show, Shusayir, with me and many others.
00:06Of course, we were all happy with the victory of the Syrian champion Shamal Bakur,
00:10but most of us wondered, is that it? She just won the title of the sixth season?
00:16The sixth season of the Arab Reading Challenge? Of course, the first win is always the most
00:21important. Bisman al-Mata, all respect again to this great nation. And I promised you yesterday
00:28that we would learn about the prize that this important Syrian heroine received,
00:32whom we can all certainly see ourselves in, along with her friends. Who are her friends?
00:38There are also Syrian men and women who won first place. How and why? What happened?
00:42What's going on? Let's get to know them a little and we'll be back. Stay with us.
00:53Once again, if this is your first time watching this channel or this program,
00:56or even if you've just tuned in, if you haven't subscribed yet, don't forget to subscribe,
01:01turn on the notification bell and like the video if you enjoyed it. I'm sure many will enjoy this
01:06type of video. Sham, that is Shamal Bakur. The remarkable Syrian child Shamal Bakur, who is seven
01:14years old, won the title in the sixth season of the Arab Reading Challenge held in the United Arab
01:21Emirates. And she got first place at the level of the UAE, not at the level of Syria.
01:28No, my dear, she won at the level of the entire Arab world, surpassing 22 million Arab children.
01:37This is what willpower looks like. This is what determination is. And this is how champions are made.
01:43A mother is a school. If you prepare her well, you prepare a people of noble stock.
01:48And this is what Ms. Manamatar worked on with her daughter when she was five years old.
01:53She kept working with her, teaching her and making her read, read to turn her into a creative and
02:00brilliant person. Of course, we hope to see ourselves in her in the future. But what we want to ask
02:06is,
02:06what is this girl's reward? What will her reward be? Will she get the proper attention? Is it because
02:13the competition is in the United Arab Emirates? Yes, she will get the proper attention since the
02:18Emirates is supervising this competition. Why do I say the Emirates? Because the Emirates has a good
02:23economic situation. And it's known for embracing celebrities, scientists, and all distinguished
02:29professionals. So the Emirates has a clear mission in this area when it comes to supporting talent.
02:37Let's first understand what Shamal Bakur received. First, Ali.
02:44According to what I found and read, it's one million Emirati dirhams, one million Emirati dirhams,
02:51which is a lot. God bless. That's amazing. That means about $300,000.
02:58Oh, may God let her spend it in happiness. Yes, she deserves it. And she really does deserve this prize.
03:03But hopefully this amount will help her and she'll work on it.
03:07Miss Malal will definitely follow up. Yes, Sham's mother. She will follow up on her daughter's
03:12development. She will keep taking care of her education. And most importantly, she will guarantee
03:17her a decent life. Especially since Miss Malal Matar is a martyr's wife, a mother, and a wife.
03:23Muhammad Al-Baqur died when her daughter was an infant. Only God knows how she managed to support
03:28herself and how she managed to take care of her daughter. She was working and on top of that,
03:33she was also... She was working on raising her daughter. Thank God, after years of effort,
03:37about seven years, she kept working hard and kept renewing herself. She refused to remarry,
03:42dedicated herself to her daughter, and remained loyal to her husband. Yesterday we read the loyalty
03:47letter she wrote and sent to her husband. After she won, thank God, she'll receive something
03:52wonderful. A million Emirati dirhams. But that's not all. No, that's not all. Also, as far as I know,
03:58the Dubai government or the United Arab Emirates, thankfully, will give her a monthly salary of 50,000
04:05dirhams for this champion every month. I don't know until when. But from what I understand, the salary
04:12will continue. I don't know until when. Maybe until the age of 18. I couldn't get this information.
04:18They will give a salary of 50,000 dirhams as a monthly salary. Now, the amount is not a lot.
04:23People
04:24might see it as a lot. It's about 50 million Syrian pounds. But the average salary in the UAE, the
04:29lowest salary for an Emirati citizen, is 25,000 dirhams in the UAE. This is the salary for Emirati
04:35citizens. I'm not talking about expatriates. But for citizens, the average salary, or the lowest salary,
04:41is about 25,000 dirhams. So her salary, because she is talented, will be 50,000 dirhams. That means
04:47about 50 million Syrian pounds. Also, Shyam al-Bakur, our Syrian champion, will become a childhood
04:54ambassador. And reading for the world. Also, at the end of the month, Shyam will give a lecture in
05:02Switzerland about the importance of reading for children and how it helps them develop their
05:08scientific personalities. And in my opinion, the most important thing, the most important,
05:12In our opinion, the UAE has supported us. And that's what I emphasized at the beginning,
05:17because the UAE nurtures talents, attracts talents, and attracts scientists. The child,
05:22Shyam al-Bakur, will be granted the golden residency in the UAE. And this is something joyful.
05:29God willing, Shyam will move with her mother, Mrs. Manal Mattar, to live in the UAE and continue
05:35to receive care and attention at the highest levels in the UAE. She will receive the golden
05:41residency in the United Arab Emirates. And there is information that is somewhat confirmed,
05:47but not completely confirmed. According to what I know, she will also get a house because
05:54the UAE has taken her under its wing. So supposedly, she doesn't know anything in the UAE, and she
06:01doesn't have anyone there, and she has no place to live. Apparently, the UAE will allocate a villa
06:06for her to live in, for Shyam and her mother. And also, they gave her a car, which is a
06:13gift from
06:14the Sheikh. A luxury car is a gift from Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, the ruler of Dubai, the deputy
06:21prime minister, and the vice president of the country. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid said,
06:26it is written, it's a luxury car as a gift. Is that all? No, not just that. Also, a travel
06:33card will
06:33be given so she can travel the world. Of course, her mother will also be given a travel card to
06:39visit
06:39the world. So she can nurture her talent, attend conferences, and follow up on her academic progress.
06:46She can pursue her talent. Thank God, these are some of the benefits. And with these awards,
06:51we now feel secure about the future of our daughter, Shyam al-Bakur, this Syrian champion.
06:57Many thanks to the UAE for supporting this child. I told you at the beginning of the episode,
07:03congratulations to all our Syrian champions. You were surprised. By the way, this competition
07:08wasn't just held among Arab countries. Of course, we have 22 Arab countries, but it was open to all
07:15Arabic speakers wherever they are. The surprise is that there are four Syrian children who are
07:21champions. Four. Yes, as for Shyam al-Bakur, she was the Syrian champion at the national level in Syria
07:28because the competitions were held at the international level. The first place winner
07:32at each international level advances. And qualifies for the competition in Dubai. This is the global
07:38competition called the Arab Reading Challenge. So, Shyam al-Bakur came first in Syria and qualified
07:45for Dubai. But there are also three other Syrian champions, including the champion Sara. Sara Ali
07:51is the champion of the United States of America. Congratulations, Sara. We have Sahar Darak al-Sibai
07:57who is also a Syrian student. She is the champion of France. These people, everyone, are originally
08:03Syrians living in these countries and have the nationalities of those countries. So, they come and
08:08represent those countries. But they are originally Syrians, as we said. Sara Ali is the champion of America.
08:13Sahar Darak al-Sibai is the champion of France. Congratulations, Sahar. Dian Abd al-Salam is also
08:20Syrian. She is the champion of Australia. These Syrian champions defeated all the Arabic speakers
08:26in Australia. The children. Whether it's Widian Abd al-Salam, Sahar or Sara, it's all the same. So, congratulations
08:33to everyone or congratulations because she's our champion, not Sara. Our champion, of course, congratulations
08:38to Sara. Our champion is Shyam al-Bakur. And congratulations to Syria for this great mother,
08:45Mrs. Manal Mattar, who made this happen. This child and great prodigy, Shyam al-Bakur.
08:52I was with you, Ahmad al-Daram, the host of the show, Shyam al-Sahir. Stay well.
08:56Bye-bye.
08:56Bye-bye.
08:57Bye-bye.
