Dear Friends,
Every time we think the situation in Lebanon can’t get any worse, it does. For those of us who watch from afar, it’s heartbreaking, but for those who are caught up in it, it’s devastating.
Once again, the eyes of the world are on this small country where the cycle of violence keeps spiraling.
Today, many of the schools EOL supports are overwhelmed with scared families sheltering there and in the parish buildings. These people are hungry, tired and traumatized. There is nothing that they don’t need.
EOL is helping by raising funds for:
Bedding — mattresses, blankets, pillow — for 2,000 people. The cost of bedding for 1 person is $45.
Trauma counseling for 500 children and their mothers. This mother/child service costs $100 for three months.

To make this happen we need you. Please join Education and Opportunities for Lebanon (EOL) and our funding partner CNEWA (who are working on the ground). Any amount you can give is greatly appreciated.
On behalf of those who have lost so much, I thank you for being their bright light of hope.
With gratitude,
Kathy Feghali
