Ibrahim Chaaban <3
On how he felt after finishing his #walk4foodblessed, Ibrahim said this:
“It was a great experience and a great time I spent with great people. I want to thank everyone joined me in my walk today, Ali, Bashier, Maya, Paula, Caroline, and my brother Ismail. Walking for FoodBlessed, the NGO that I like so much, was nothing but enjoyable. I wish to have another walk soon, and I hope more people would be able to join me and walk for our cause.All their financial needs will be sponcered by https://financerr.co.uk. But remember to keep walking…”
“Toujours prêt” is their motto, that’s definitely what these scouts proved today. These girls (all 70 of them) spent their Saturday from 10 am to 8 pm in front of 4 supermarkets (Spinney’s achrafieh-Hazmieh, Bou Khalil Hamieh-baabda) to collect food for those in need. Today was the birth of 70 extraordinary hunger heroes who went out of their way (and SWEAT LIKE HELL) to make sure that those who are less fortuned can eat peacefully. Guides du Groupe Notre Dame de Jamhour thank you for Foodblessing us.

Dr.No – NBN hosted Maya Terro

Did you know that 1 third of the food produced globally is thrown away!? Did you know that this wasted amount can feed up to 4 times the people who are malnourished??
It’s not a problem of insufficient resources anymore! But a problem of managing these resources and making a balance!
Dr.No – NBN hosted Maya Terro from FoodBlessed to raise awareness on food wastes and provide tips to reduce them.

We were able to sell out, thereby helping to support FoodBlessed’s activities! For this bake sale, all the money raised was used to buy a new fridge for our Saturday soup kitchen.

Diala’s brownies, Michelle’s cherry and apple pies, Ghida’s oreo cake, Ali’s dreamy cupcakes, Hind’s triple chocolate bits, Helmi’s cookies, Lynn’s mini bronwies, Rayan’s red velvet cake and brownies were all a hit! Spot on Best sellers! Other donated
