We are Not an Intellectual Conversation to have at Dinner
Hello Everyone,
I thank all those who are already doing what they can to help. I appreciate all those who are thinking and sympathising with us through these atrocities. Feeling with us is not enough. Everyone has a part to play. We are not a spectacle to watch on television, or an intellectual conversation to have at a dinner. We are a people who are unjustly and inhumanely being targeted, attacked and decimated. Each of YOU has the ability to do something to help. DO IT.
To HELP in AID ASSISTANCE:
The following organizations are collecting money to buy basic supplies for the internally displaced populations in Lebanon and provide them with medical treatment. We ask everyone who can send donations, however small. See below for bank account information and contact your bank to find out how to transfer funds.
