Doaa Jasim is the busy mom of five children - TWO sets of Comet twins and a preschooler. One of the founding Lunar Moms of Mason (a group of Muslim Moms), Doaa and the other Mason women have spear-headed several efforts to give back to the schools through the Mason Schools Foundation, hosting a CommUNITY Iftar sponsored by Diversity Council, and providing resources to Mason teachers. Doaa's commitment to giving back was inspired by her mother, the author of the "A Cup of Mint Tea" short story collections. Doaa's mother and father came to the United States from Iraq in the 1980s and understand first-hand the impact that war has on children. Each year, Doaa's children ask their friends to donate what would have been their birthday presents to help orphans around the world.
