Bahiya Qotaish from Saida area turns household waste into useful items

In its issue of today, the Daily Star shed light on a unique experience by a Lebanese woman from Bayssarieh, Saida, who is presently recycling her household waste into useful items. Bahiya Qoteish explained that the idea of undertaking recycling came to her after completing a training workshop organized by the Center for Development Services run by the Ministry of Social Affairs. Qoteish told the newspaper that instead of throwing away carton, like egg cartons for example, she is recycling them into handy tools that can be used at home. She even showcased her creations at several local fairs with the support of the Bayssarieh Center for Development Services. Qoteish said she was pleased with what she was doing; especially that it has given her the opportunity to become an active and productive member of her community, promising to work hard to develop her skills and artistic talents.
