Kibarouna Summer Camp 2009

Once again, Kibarouna organized a successful summer camp in Ajaltoun, where 50 disadvantaged elderly from different parts of Lebanon were welcomed in St Joseph covent to spend a special time. In collaboration with the USJ volunteers/social workers, Mrs. Henriette Haddad, Kibarouna president, organized a five day program catering to all needs of elderly wellbeing, namely social, emotional and cognitive by engaging them in different, exciting activities. 

On the last day of the camp, elderly from various NGO's and areas in Lebanon were invited to join the group and attend an entertaining program with dinner.

The highlight of the evening was a celebration of an elderly couple's 50th wedding anniversary. Also, Kibarouna's friend, Mrs. Therese Hawwat, performed special Oum Koulthoum songs, much to the audience's enjoyment and awe.

This camp would not have been possible without the assistance of many young volunteers and many of Kibarouna's members.
