Mezyany Bu Medyan
From Algeria, Province of Tiaret
saw Tarek on the internet,
Like too many other people who are daily online,
He wasn’t just fulfilled by Clicking on ‘ Like’ or even typing a ‘comment’
but rather changing the reality of Tarek’s life.
Tarek is 16 years old,
he properly had never been out of his house due to Health condition.
Meziani thought differently: by bringing a wheelchair for Tarek.
A Journey of a Wheelchair

Egyptian & a resident in Emirates.
What should I say, How Should I start? As Good Morning & So..?
Good Morning, I Knew about this topic or subject through an email that I had received,
I found it an amazing story,
How we could simply pass a chair from the gulf to the ocean as they were saying,
how could we do so through the boarders and from one country to the other
get the visas and people’s help…
This is your chair tarek
inshallah will be delivered to you as soon as possible
and you will see yourself how much the people loves you
and we will come to you and see you
and reach you in Algeria
Amman - Jordan
Good evening Tarek my name is Mohamed el Raey
I live in Jordon
That is your chair right over there,
on it’s way to you, will be delivered to you ‘In-Shallah’,
We are here at Queen Alyiah’s Airport, Jordon, Amman.
I’m an Employee in a Tele-com company
and it’s my honor that I met Mr. Ahmed, as it helped me to have a role in delivering this chair to you
Atef Taxi driver – Insisting to take me for lunch
So Right now, will drive you home to rest &have lunch, we will have lunch together
What are you preparing for our lunch?
In-shallah we will eat Mensef- Balady Meat
Our first day in Jordon came to an end
we went back to Amman to get ready for our following day
which would be of a new stage in our Journey
We had prepared the chair
with the collaboration invitation, Mic and 360 degrees camera
which would give Tarek the chance
to day-live the trip as if he was there through each milestone,
we Started at this Historical site in Amman
The new phase had begun, from ‘the Journey of a chair
We will deliver this chair to Algeria,
This is a humane message
that all Arab will remain united as a power of one
this chair will pass through different Arab countries
till it reaches Tarek who is in an excessive need for this Chair
Tarek
-I wish you a speedy recovery -in-Shallah
My message here comes to an End
In-Shallah more of the Arab brothers will be helping till this Chair is delivered to your doorstep
From Amman to Aqaba 340 kilometers
which the chair would cross
We are here in the middle of Aqaba bay
between Saudi Arabia,
Jordan,
Palestine,
and Egypt is on the other side
Now we are in Nuweiba - Egypt
we will head to the place of where we would stay
and tomorrow we would continue to Cairo
Nuweiba - Egypt
Hey Tarek, Good Morning, I’m Mohamed your brother from Egypt,
it was a fluke that the chair came across,
I woke up in the morning to find Ahmed here, carrying on his Journey
I decided to be part of it and I admired doing so
Is it recording like that?
The lights are on
Good morning Tarek my name is Randa Saed from Egypt
I Know this is your first time getting out of your house,
, I wish you would see the world in the way that you wanted to see it,
Hang out, have a life,
and from Daira Camp
we are reaching out for you to come spend three days with us here in Egypt,
to see the beautiful world
and have some changes,
waiting for you In-Shallah
My dear Tarek, Good Morning, This is Abdullah from Egypt
Randa called me to be delivering this chair From Nuweiba
to Sharm el Sheikh airport
& Of course I’m voluntarily doing so
Hello tarek
I’m at Sharm ElSheikh, Egypt
with my dear Ahmed
as a matter of fact the Flight had been delayed but the chair will be delivered to you In-Shallah,
don’t worry , Thank you Tarek
Cairo International Airport
How are you Tarek, We reached Egypt and couldn’t pass getting you introduced to my Family”
my name is Cecil Ahmed Adel
We love you very much bye bye
Cairo to Tunis
Thank God, we have finally reached the dear lands of Tunisia,
We arrived here, but without our cameras,
all of the cameras were taken from us at the Airport
& we are now filming with our phones,
we have to continue and we have to deliver this chair to Tarek in Algeria,
The chair is right here in the car
Hello This is Sawsan, From Tunisia,
In-Shallah, the chair will be delivered to you
you and it would be a great experience
that you would go out and experience different things,
Bye-Bye
The cameras were taken from us upon arrival at the airport as you had seen,
we had to leave from the airport
not through the land boarders of Algeria as it was planned
and since our visa in Tunisia happened to be expired
and there weren’t any available flight tickets to Algeria
we had to go back to Egypt
and leave the chair to a trust-worthy person
to be delivered to Algeria;
that was Amna’s role.
The chair reached Algeria,
The truth is , this wasn’t just about a chair,
the truth is we wanted the biggest amount of participants in this,
each person participating in this journey of a chair did a good,
each person helping Tarek to get this chair.
Tarek received the chair and Toys,
He had also seen the whole trip on the 360 degrees camera,
but more important
he received the warmth & love of others in all of the Arab nation,
from Emirates
to Jordon to Egypt to Tunisia to Algeria,
with the support of each and every one, being positive
and believed that they had a role in this
Tarek was finally able to get out of his house,
, the house that due to his health condition was more of a prison
Finally went out ,
seen the light
and enjoyed life
“Thank you Tarek for what we have learnt through this Journey “ Ahmed Adel- Mezyany Bu Medyan
