After an almost hitch-free flight we touched down on Beirut at about 03:15 on 19/03, beheld the magnificence of the country that would be our host for the next 6 days. The climb to our residential quarters in Al-Amal premises in Broumana and the panoramic view from that altitude was only an 'avant-gout' of what marvels awaited us.
Day 1 started after just 4 hours of sleep with a walk to the farms of Mar Chaaya monastery where we were guided through the running (the methods, resources and products) of the farm.
After the tour of the farm was the tour of Al-Amal Center where the Director (Nassib), the staff and the residents were a pure delight to know. We were treated to a delicious meal and thrilled by a drama rehearsal (thanks Shadia, Nadia and all). We concluded Day 1 with a fun trip to the streets of Beirut, and fun it was indeed.
