Why join EA?

 I enthusiastically joined EA because I believe in the power of communities, the impact they can do, the striking lack of support they receive, and the present environmental threats they face. The way forward is working together for a sustainable future.

 Being part of the EA is a chance for me to contribute now to environmental efforts in Lebanon, which has always been my long term goal. The community approach of the EA, working with local teams at the frontline of the issues we face, is extremely empowering and enriching. There is a palpable positive energy for change all around

 I decided to participate in EA2 and share my expertise to provide something I am capable of to local communities who, regardless of their everyday struggles, are still trying to build a country from rubble and preserve what can still be preserved. We left while these communities stayed and are continuously fighting, they are the one hope we have left.

 I appreciate two main components of the EA program: First, its methodology that places the communities in the driving seat by identifying the issues that are relevant to them. I believe this will increase the ownership they have for any solution that EA suggests. And second, I appreciate that the EA program capitalizes on the Lebanese human resources. It offers people like my self, who have technical expertise and the desire to help, a way to be able to directly support vulnerable communities in Lebanon.

 I joined EA as I felt we shared common values and aspirations to preserve and solve Enviromental threats. Most importantly I belief that EA is an Honest Broker of Hope, utilizing transparency, science and data to teach young generations that change is not only possible, but reachable when science combines with people’s will and determination. EA represent the platform for people to get engaged and drive change. It is the art of what is possible.
