    Sharif Abuhuzaimah, from O'Fallon, Ill., teaches Arabic language lessons during "Head Start," a cultural sensitivity awareness course, at Camp As Sayliyah, Qatar, Aug. 4. "My goal is to prevent stereotypes about the Arab world," said Abuhuzaimah. The Arab-American has taught the Head Start course at Camp As Sayliyah for nearly five years. Born in the West Bank, Abuhuzaimah grew up in Qatar. At 18 years old, he obtained a student visa to attend Southern Illinois University Carbondale for a mechanical engineering degree. Abuhuzaimah became a U.S. citizen in 1991. Several years later he moved back to Qatar, where most of his family resides.
