The air was a buzz from excitement as the set up was finishing and people began to arrive. It has been one year since the opening of our center in Saadneyal. Members of the community, our staff and volunteers were ready for the celebration of all the hard work and dedication of the last year.

The snacks and music were enjoyed and the cake was cut. Remembering all that happened in the last year and dreams of what could come in the future were shared. It was a wonderful day.

At the same time beneficiaries shared their thanks with us:

“One year has passed, bringing with it many memories, experiences, achievements, and, most importantly, a beautiful spirit that has brought us together through love, compassion, and service.

I believe that the true strength of any organization is not found in its name or the number of its members, but in the people who carry its mission with sincerity, dedication, and heart.”

–Manal 52 y/o



“We had such a wonderful time with all the activities, gatherings, and the beautiful atmosphere you created.

Personally, I truly enjoyed being around you and felt so comfortable with your positivity. You made me feel like I was surrounded by people I had known for years.”

–Ibtissam 55 y/o




“From last year to now it has been a beautiful journey filled with experiences, learning, and meaningful memories.  I learned so much, gained new skills, and grew in both experience and confidence.

I chose to keep coming because I wanted to keep growing, challenge myself. Having people who encouraged me and stood by my side played a big role in helping me continue, and I am truly grateful for every moment and every word of support.”

–Rama 14 y/o

 

The future is full of dreams and we take great pleasure and responsibility in investing in the community to see Lebanon emerge as the Lord has intended her to.
