On the occasion of the coming to terms of the 2012-2013 school year, Haya Bina organized, earlier this week, within the framework of its extracurricular activities for teachers and students a cultural tour in the Shoof area to provide the opportunity for students from Sowwaneh and Burj Rahhal (south), Meshmesh, Aydamoun, and Mashta Hammoud (North), Kfar7heem (Shouf), Burj Al-Barajneh and Ain Al-Remmaneh (Beirut) to meet each other. The day-tour started in Kfar7heem with a visit to the cultural exhibition organised by the Lebanese House Establishment for the Environment (LHEE) followed by a visit to the Shoof cedars natural reserve located in the Barook Mountain where the group planted a symbolic cedar tree in the name of the English for Women Programme. The group then visited the reserve and engaged in cultural activities animated by trainer Mohammed al Amin. It is to be reminded that this programme targets some 35 localities across Lebanon and is funded by the American Embassy in Beirut.
