The Toledo Hotel
Since the inception of LE·O Mr. Hakam Barakat owner of The Toledo Hotel, has been right by our side. Graciously welcoming our female and male students as they transited from Gaza or The West Bank on their way to apply for visas or simply travel to the US.
Dr. Graham Leonard has also made the hotel his home for the past 12 years as he established and worked on his Ma Hakkaat at-Tafkir Critical Thinking program for the Jordanian Public School system and UNRWA schools. He has hosted regular meetings in the conference rooms for his teacher trainers, and received guests for meals.
Deya’ also stays at the hotel during her visits to the region, interviews potential student candidates, meets with alumni, receives journalists and hosts gatherings for the families of the LE·O students.
