Rebuilding Tyre (Sour)

We just finished the 3-days training from the Ministry of Social Affairs. A very professional training! We learned much about the camp management and all its consequences. Victoria and Hans, our 2 trainers, have so much experience in war emergency relief and camp/site management. It is astounding to see that there are so many aspects Internally Displaced Persons (called IDP) share all over the world, whether they are in Sri Lanka or Lebanon.

As you can see in the second column of this blog, there is a new link, called SAVE LEBANON. When you click on it you will discover a blog about archbishop Georges Bacouni. I have known Msgr. George for a long time, he was a seminarian when I got to know him and we stayed in touch over the years. He then became priest and was responsible for the University Pastoral care of Youth. He was ordained bishop last October 2005 and appointed to Tyre (Sour). At 44 years he is the youngest bishop in the country, a very integer man. He now suffers along with his fellow citizens from all the damages the war has left them. Take a look and decide what to do for yourself.
