Many thanks to Interior Minister Ziyad Baroud, the Lebanese Army, the Lebanese Red Cross, the Civil Defense, the Jabal Moussa park rangers, Raja Saade, Ghandi, Alain, and everyone who helped make this unfortunate incident more bearable and dare I say adventurous…!!

More than 70 kids had the chance to experience a working day at Bank Audi. Maxime met them and answered their questions.

Kids were very excited and followed him to the office to find out his workplace atmosphere.

200 persons were present on Saturday at the Natural Bridge.

We were around 28 organizations and NGOs from Beirut, Chouf, Baalbeck

The event was covered by MTV, LBC, Future, Reuters, OTV, L’Orient le Jour, Al Nahar…

The event was a great success: good hike, not difficult, with easy access to the site.
The atmosphere was very lively and cheerful with the orchestra and the ecological songs.

Among the officials present, Ghassan Moukheiber, Walid Beaino from the Municipality of Kfardebian, Mrs Farid el Khazen, Maxime Chaya, Nicolas Sehnaoui.
We regret the absence of Akram Chehayeb and Ziad Baroud, who had promised to come.

Maxime Chaya and Minister Ziad Baroud welcome the third firefighting helicopter at Rafik Hariri International Airport.

These Sikorsky-type choppers can carry a payload of 4,000 litres. Their acquisition was made possible by donations from various Lebanese
institutions and banks, as well as small donations from school kids across the country.

Trees are a blessing, not only to us, but to the future generations. Don’t kill them, save them!
