A Melting Pot of the Nations

I have a lot of new posts that I am working on and not really happy with any of them right now.  So I decided to share something else instead.  I have been doing research on data of our neighborhood as I am putting together grant proposals and figured that I would share some with you as I found them very informative and descriptive of where I am living and working.  Well worth the read!!

This article was one of the first articles that I found last year when the opportunity presented itself for me to come to Beirut and I realized how very little I knew about Beirut of all places in the Middle East or what was there.  I quickly learned that it was a perfect location to reach the nations and many desperate and needy people without having to worry about air raids or ISIS.
