SSC
pairs up with AF for handicapped benefit
On Monday and Tuesday the Social Service Club set up a stand
selling goods made by members of Lebanon's handicapped community.
These goods ranged from bars of soap decorated with flowers
to pencil holders and homemade shag-pile rugs. Prices of the
quaint and colorful articles were extremely low; some were priced
at LL1,500, while the most expensive sold at LL10,000. The handicrafts
came from the Amal Foundation in Broumana that is concerned
with the handicapped and retarded. In addition to its fundraising
activities, the foundation also helps prepare the handicapped
to integrate into society with vocational training. It also
has several sponsorship programs that allow people to help the
handicapped. |
