Today Bambi did a quick tour of the media about Lebanon. A picture attracted her attention:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, later in the day, Bambi called her parents in Beirut to check on them. They informed her that they are in the middle of big reparations of all the thick wood blinds of their apartment, all free-of-charge, offered by an active NGO called “Beit El Baraka<\/em>“, which literally means the “house of blessing (= prosperity)<\/em>“. Beit El Baraka <\/em>received donations from generous people around the world, including Europe and North America, etc. They have offered those reparations to Bambi’s parents as well as all their neighbours in the same building. Same for all the buildings in their heavily damaged neighbourhood, which they also painted too (at less than 1.5 km from the port blast). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tragically, many innocent people died on Saint-George hospital street, in the nearby hospital, and some in their apartments on that doomed August 4, 2020. MANY more were also badly injured (6000+ in total). It is by pure miracle that Bambi’s parents survived, as you can see in the picture of the the older post, at the end of this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To come back to Beit El Baraka<\/em>, here is a description of this NGO:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
