IBB Dispatch

Updates from the people teaching, building, translating, and organizing across the Middle East.

Every month, we share short stories from the region. You’ll read:

✔ Scenes from the ground.

Women running classes, students starting local projects, translators bringing new books into Arabic, and people pushing for more room to speak and learn.

✔ Things worth keeping an eye on.

How classrooms, tech hubs, libraries, and small community projects are changing from one month to the next.

✔ Field notes.

What our team sees and hears on the road — small wins, setbacks, and new projects taking shape.

✔ Local rules that change daily life.

Updates on school bans, internet cuts, new restrictions, or reopened libraries — and what they mean for the people dealing with them.

✔ Occasional deep dives.

A closer look at ideas, trends, or overlooked stories that rarely make it into the news.
