They say that the noblest form of giving is human giving from the soul and heart, and this is indeed what I personally felt during my first meeting with Ms. Inas Nowaihaid and the esteemed members of the administrative committee at The Higher Metn Artisan Foundation. I was honored to visit them at their headquarters back then and listened to a thorough explanation of all that has been accomplished and what will be achieved in the future stages.

I was truly amazed by the spontaneous moral enthusiasm, persistent teamwork, organization, and dedication of the new Foundation The Higher Metn Artisan and its honorable administrative members during my first meeting with Mrs. Inas Nowaihed and the team at their headquarters. I was impressed by their steadfast determination, unwavering confidence, complete absence of selfishness and narrow-mindedness, and complete avoidance of sectarian or partisan biases. I realized that the noble administrative team has a creative and innovative cultural vision for the future, and they are aware and promising for the coming years, as evident from their daily hard work to embrace, encourage, educate, and train young people without discrimination or differentiation, aiming to provide them with suitable job opportunities. I also saw their insistence on overcoming all financial, operational, and logistical obstacles facing the association, to ensure its continued giving.

Today, I address you and all those who are able and well-off, whether individuals or groups, social organizations or humanitarian organizations. I call upon you to rally around this foundation, to embrace and provide all possible support for it, and to support it because it really provides a pioneering human model, a good example, and a good role model in serving and developing the local community, especially the Lebanese society in general. This is achieved through the establishment of sustainable humanitarian projects and ambitious educational workshops aimed at acquiring basic skills in various crafts for women, men, and different age groups.

Today also, The Higher Metn Artisan Foundation once again exceeds itself in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, the Professional Actors' Syndicate, and under the supervision of top theater professors. It proves its cultural position and capabilities through its interest in the cultural and theatrical artistic affairs and presents an Elite theatrical performance from the works of William Shakespeare. The highest Metn schools compete to win the first places in presenting this unique artistic and educational event in the Metn district.
