Relief for Lebanon
*FOR ENGLISH SCROLL DOWN* بالنيابة عن ابنائنا من ذوي الاحتياجات الخاصة المقيمين في مؤسستنا والمشرفين عليهم والعاملين فيها وبالنيابة عن العائلات التي تركت بيوتها بسبب القصف، نتوجه اليكم بجزيل الشكر والتقدير على وقوفكم بجانبنا ودعمكم لبرنامجنا التشغيلي الذي شكل دعما معنويا هاما لأبنائنا لأنه زاد من ثقتهم بنفسهم وابرزهم كأفراد مهمين ونشيطين من المجتمع، هو رسالة محبة موجهة الى هذه العائلات في ظل هذه الظروف الصعبة. عمل ابناؤنا على توضيب 150 حصة من حصص "كيس سنبلة الخير" وزعناها برفقة أبنائنا على 150 عائلة لجأت الى ثانوية جميل لحود الرسمية - بعبدات بين أطفال وراشدين، كل حصة تحتوي على نوعين من الحبوب ومرطبان مكدوس وشراب الورد ولوحي صابون نشتريها من صغار المزارعين والمنتجين. إن دعمكم يساعدنا على إبقاء الابناء منشغلين وإبعادهم عن التفكير لوقت طويل بأصوات الطائرات والقصف. بيروت اليوم مجروحة واهلنا فيها هم بأمس الحاجة لمن يقف بجانبهم. إن دعمكم المستمر لنا سيخفف عنهم ولو قليلا. سنسعى جاهدين للوصول الى كل من هو بحاجة بالتعاون مع جمعيات بيروتية موجودة على الأرض. بارك الله جهودكم وزادكم من خيره خيرا. On behalf of our residents with special needs, our dedicated supervisors and staff, and the displaced families who have fled their homes due to ongoing bombardment, we would like to express our deepest gratitude and appreciation to you. Your support of our vocational programme has provided our residents with vital psychological and moral encouragement. By encouraging their active participation, you have boosted their self-confidence and recognised their valuable contributions to society. This programme sends a message of solidarity and love to families facing incredibly difficult circumstances. Our residents took great pride in assembling 150 'Welfare Wheat' bags. Together, we distributed these bags to 150 families (including children and adults) who are currently seeking refuge at "Jamil Lahoud Public High School" in Baabdat. Each bag, filled with local grains, makdous, rose syrup and two bars of artisanal soap, supports not only the displaced, but also the small-scale farmers we source from. These activities offer our residents a vital distraction from the constant sounds of aircraft and shelling. "Beirut is wounded, and our people need our support now more than ever. Your contributions offer them much-needed relief. We are striving to reach every person in need in collaboration with local associations on the ground." May you be rewarded for your generosity and continued efforts. We are deeply grateful for your kindness and your dedication to our mission.

Support Lebanon's Steadfastness

Support Lebanon's Steadfastness
Lebanon endures yet another round of zio-american terror. If you're following the news, you already know that Israel's genocidal war against Lebanon continues, completing its first month already. The displacement crisis is growing with every ethnic cleansing order under threat issued by israel, exerting increasing pressures on an already disintegrating infrastructure. Over the past month, the settler colony of israel ordered the forced displacement of residents of massive regions of the country - the entirety of the south of the Litani river (130 towns), the entirety of the densely populated southern suburb of Beirut, the tens of towns in the Zahrani- southern lebanon, and most recently the town KfarHatta in Sidon  - packed with thousands of already displaced families - explicit expulsion orders under threat of annihilation. A crisis of unprecedented internal displacement is unfolding with over a million people - thousands of families now sheltering in overcrowded schools, temporary shelters, cars, and public spaces, with very limited access to basic necessities - exerting increasing pressures on an already disintegrating infrastructure. Many remain in tents on the capital's sidewalks. Many have even opted to go back to their homes despite the risk.  With the ever so slow and inadequate governmental action, community networks across the country have been mobilizing to support families with food, shelter, medicine, and essential supplies. I am helping raise funds to support some of these networks currently assisting displaced families on the ground, namely my friend Fatima who continues to tend to families with basic supplies in coordination with friends in Saida who had worked with over 2000 families in the 2024 war; and who is supporting 800 people sheltering in the Capuchin school in Hamra; "Egna Legna", a migrant-led group offering support for migrant domestic workers facing both displacement and racial discrimination; a group of 8 friends who recently started assembling hygiene kits to families currently living in tents at Ramlet El Bayda and Biel; and groups rescuing and feeding stray animals and pets in targeted areas; as well as individuals serving as bridges between displaced families and initiatives supplying essentials. The need is dire, and without these initiatives, people are left to fend for themselves. The raised funds will be transferred directly to these entities/individuals. If you are able to contribute, any support big or small can make a difference.
