Very Kind Donation by Mr. Toni Asfour
We received a very kind donation on Thursday 14 April 2011 from board
member Mr. Toni Asfour. He sent us a cheque for five thousand US$
Dollars.
This donation will be used for the renovation project of Family 4
(Boarding Home 4) which houses our youngest boys, ages four to seven. It urgently needs a make-over job. We plan to execute this project in
summer 2011 with committed funds from our church: the National
Evangelical Church in Beirut, and possible additional funds from our
partners in Germany, EVS and EMS. The project aims to modernize this
boarding home and make it more suitable for housing our youngest age
group. Families 4 & 5 are the only boarding homes left that did not
undergo any renovation and modernization. Mr. Asfour is also arranging a
grant from the Rotary Foundation to equip those homes with solar water
heating systems.
Mr. Asfour is a very active board member and a staunch supporter of our
school. He continuously uses his contacts with the Rotary Foundation to
provide us with grants for badly needed projects. School buses,
furniture for the girls' boarding homes, the CNC machine, and equipment
for our main kitchen, are among many projects that Mr. Asfour initiated
and raised funds for, in partnership between the Beirut Cosmopolitan
Rotary Club and other clubs in the Rotary Foundation. Through his
amazing commitment and zeal for our school he raised enormous funds that
helped us meet many of our urgent needs. Now his personal generosity
also overwhelmed us as he provided us with this very kind donation.
We expressed our most sincere gratitude to Mr. Toni Asfour for this
generous donation, his wonderful friendship, and his dedicated
commitment to our school.
