Chairman of the Board of Trustees' Speech

We hope that the impact and effectiveness of this change and transformation will match the aspirations.

As I look around me, I see ladies and young women with the sun drawn on their foreheads, vowing to embark on a journey towards achieving their goals. I also see men and youth who have taken to the arenas of struggle, work, and activism, wiping the word 'impossible' from their path and achieving victory and success in every time and place.

Many thanks for your gracious presence and your kind support. Thank you for attending during this challenging time, as mentioned.

My deepest thanks and utmost respect to the members of the Board of Trustees for their precious trust, as well as to my colleagues and the president of The Higher Metn Artisan Foundation. You, my female colleagues, and you, my male colleagues, are a bouquet of the most beautiful flowers. Together, we will form an association that adopts transparency, an association that has a visionary future illuminated by a bright and enlightened mindset.

As part of my duties, I would like to direct a written message to the esteemed friend and sponsor of the celebration, Mr. Marwan Salha.

As for the sponsor of the celebration, the president of the Union of Municipalities of Higher Metn and the mayor of Ras el-Metn, Marwan Salha, he is a prominent figure in national institutions. He has a constructive vision that anticipates major human events and strives to achieve them because they are the dream of generations.

Following in the footsteps of his late father Najib Baik Salha (may he rest in peace),who was a man of honors, establishments, and reconstruction.

I would have said to Mr. Marwan, the association seeks to strengthen cooperation with you, leading to deep awareness and a culture of rescue.. rescuing humans and rescuing society.

A thousand greetings to you all.

Thank you

Jihad Al Atrash
