A man whose name is tied to “good news” / How did “Hafezi” become the father of Iranian school-building?
Fars News Agency – Department of Education: He was older than he was, but he was hard-working and energetic in all the programs and he spoke so enthusiastically that you did not want to listen to his words; He called all the field reporters by the name of education and always said, “You who write for the good of school building, you are the good of school building.”
He attended all the ceremonies entitled School-Building Charity with interest and never said “no” to attending. The moment was not quiet; He went from one province to another, and each time he stepped more cheerfully into the conference halls, always saying, “God has given me life again to do good.”
This man was different from all the people I knew; A man who had been rubbed in such a way that few people did such a good deed; His school-building model was also different from the others; He spent money to raise a school-building charity, not to build a school himself; Of course, Hafezi started this after building his fourteenth school.
You might say, “In this way, not much money is spent?”; Not so; He invited wealthy people with his family to a conference, where he paid all the expenses, including staff salaries, detailed catering and dinner, and even gifts including provincial souvenirs to the guests; While at this cost he could build a school, albeit a small one, whose name was engraved on the door of the school, and this action would add to his school resume.
But for Hafiz, what mattered was attracting more donors to build the school; The face he made of school-building benefactors was so vivid, charming, and beautiful, that it drew so many hearts to it; This grandeur caused the school-building charity community to take root in all the provinces of the country like a tanavar tree, and according to education officials, half of the country’s schools were built by donors or with their participation. Yes, Hafezi became the father of Iranian school-building.
* The father left
June 12, 2009 is the heavenly day of the father of Iranian school-building; Mohammad Reza Hafezi became ill in the last years of his life, but as soon as he achieved some improvement, he went to work as a school builder and traveled from one province to another.
Towards the end of his life, the cane was with him all the time and he could hardly walk, but he was just as passionate and energetic in his lectures, and he had the same initial enthusiasm for building a safe haven for the education of children all over Iran.
But little by little, his physical condition became such that he lost his strength, and little by little, his lungs and kidneys became infected, and finally, on the 21st of Khordad, he closed his eyes to mortal life forever.
Hafizi left, but the case of the school-building charity was not closed; He planted a sapling many years ago, but now it has grown like a tree and its roots have spread all over the country.
There is a sense of love, self-sacrifice and self-sacrifice in the hearts of every child who attends charitable schools, especially if the charitable person occasionally takes the time to see the school children and listen to what they have to say; What Mohammad Reza Hafezi was doing.
* The man who was the “good news”

Even now, three years after his death, he still smiles when he is remembered; Because he is the forerunner of a movement that takes great strides in the safe education of the future builders of the country.
His friends and other school-building benefactors always refer to him as the number one school-building people, and he still shines like a shining star in conferences and meetings.
He left, but the path he and other school-building philanthropists have paved after passing through their property has now attracted other philanthropists, and new philanthropists along that path are still busy.
* The man who was involved in all of Hafezi’s speeches!
A few days ago, the third anniversary of the late Mohammad Reza Hafezi was commemorated at the Shahid Ayatollah Madani Boys’ High School in Tehran; A ceremony that felt the emptiness of “memory” more than ever. But there were also many other vacancies. The vacancy of the past officials who seemed to have forgotten that in their time, these men and women helped build schools and were a warm support for their activities!
In the speeches of the late Hafezi, the name of a person was always always present; He was talking about a charity that had made a covenant under the gold gutters to build a school. Akbar Ebrahimi referred to this issue at the ceremony and said: “Mr. Hafezi repeatedly stated that Mr. Ebrahimi had promised to build a school under the gold gutter in Mecca; This number changed every year. The first year 5 schools, the next year 14 schools, the next year 72 schools, the next year 110 schools; Until he once said he had pledged 1,100 schools.
I called and said I was talking to you and he said I will come to your office. When he came, I said do not say that Ebrahimi has promised 1,100 schools, but say that Ebrahimi will build a school for the rest of his life. He said, “It’s your cleverness that you trade with your God.”
* Lock: Hafizi once carried the burden of the school-building charity community
