The Lebanese Organization for Studies and Training (LOST) in Baalbak concluded a hospitality training workshop with the participation of 15 young men and women. During the closing day, LOST director, Dr. Rami Lakkis, stressed the importance of similar empowering events which help trainees acquire an income generating profession that secures an adequate standard of living for their households or enables them to start their private enterprises. The project invigorates the community with specialized and competent human resources expected to contribute to the development process, Lakkis maintained, pointing that these ongoing courses will benefit new groups, that will be trained by distinguished graduates from the current course. To note, the 5-day course comes as part of ‘Bina’ project funded by the Bavarian government in Germany. (Al Diyar, August 14, 2017)
