On behalf of Araya’s family and on behalf of all the friends of Araya,Aigaforum would like to say thank you to every one who shared the family’s grief. Thank you for all the kind and comforting words.
Araya has passed away. As many of you said it in many words he is irreplaceable.Araya was a great diplomat, a wise middleman, a great leader and he was an exemplary worker. While his family lost a husband, a dad and a brother his friends have lost a go-to friend, counselor and simply a partner. It would be a long time before we will see one that parallels Araya.
We admire Araya for what he did and was planning to do. His plans from what we gather talking to him over the phone some two weeks ago was to expand Maa garment factory operation and to make sure MIT as well as TDA continues being successful. We have an able director and employee to continue TDA’s mission. Maa has a very kind and generous and one of a kind owner by the name of Sheik Mohammed Al Amoudi . However, we canot say the same about MIT and Kelamino high school. With out Araya these two institutions will be facing a hurdle. A hurdle we can overcome if we remain true friends of Araya nonetheless.
Let us pledge to keep Araya’s dreams alive and do everything in our power to sustain these two institutions. Let us renew our pledge to support TDA. Above all let us make sure his wife has all the means she needs to raise his young children. We shall over come this adversity. Thank You.
