6. ‘‘Supporting Fathieh Saudi in acquiring the complementary
therapy that she has identified given her background as
a medical doctor, is beneficial not only to herself but to other
people experiencing similar situations as well. Fathieh has
empowered people who have cancer and other illness,
providing them with hope and resilience. She continues
to volunteer her expertise to charities. Her poems speak
of her creativity and courage. Indeed, Fathieh is the most
inspirational and amazing woman that I have ever known.’’
