Rab7ha Eidi good will ambassador for Live Lebanon
12-5-2017
The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) Live Lebanon Initiative announced yesterday the appointment of Rab7ha Eidi as its Goodwill Ambassador for her contribution to fundraising projects in support of disadvantaged communities in the country. During the appointment ceremony at the office of UNDP Resident Coordinator, Philippe Lazzarini, Eidi made clear that she never sought to do something that was good to be rewarded in return. “Therefore I am grateful to receive an honor that reinforces my zeal,” Eidi said. It should be noted, that Eidi is the founder of ‘Dar al Hanan’ association, Al Sadr Foundation in the USA and Canada, as well as Mashgara Medical Center and language school. She is also a former member of the Lebanese Honorary Council in Toledo, Ohio, in addition to being a member of the Women's Association for Cultural Events and the René Moawad Foundation (RMF) in Washington. In a parallel line, Eidi has many undertakings targeting local communities. She started her humanitarian endeavor in 1982 with organizing fundraising campaigns, particularly for helping low-income students get to US colleges, as well as provision of medical aid in Bekaa and Beirut, up to raising donations for reconstruction works in the wake of the Israeli aggression against Lebanon in 2006. Eidi has also won numerous awards, notably the US Congressional Medal of Honor for Expatriates, and just last week, received a prize from Lebanese Foreign Minister Jibran Bassil for her humanitarian work at the Lebanese Diaspora Energy Conference in Beirut.
