Welfare Wheat Race

            This upcoming 29th of April, I’ll be running the 5K race in Broumana Lebanon to help the needy and the disabled.

            Often people say: I want to get involved, I want to do help others, but we get so busy or distracted that we lose focus on the main cause.

            Well not this time, there are no excuses; I’ve set my mind. For all my Lebanese readers, you can still participate, as for my readers from abroad you can still like the page on Facebook: 

    And maybe my post will motivate you to search for local charity events in your own country, we may not realize it but sometimes something so simple can have such a huge impact. 

Please take a minute and check the description, and thank you.  


Welfare Wheat Race - Broumana & Metn A Space for Sports, Music and Welfare
Mission (description)






       



            Al Amal Institute for the Disabled is a non-profit, non-governmental organization that supports the cause of people with special needs. Our residential center for the mentally disabled is located in Broumana - Metn, but our programs aim to improve the integration and autonomy of these people with special needs on a nationwide level.

            As our programs work on integration and welfare, we try to involve the community with our cause and as well host activities that promote sports and culture.

            Welfare Wheat Race is a yearly race organized by Al Amal NGO for the Disabled and the Needy. The funds raised in this race go to the Sweater & Wheat program, which gives persons with special needs the role of contributing in the support of the other needy.
