 Opening of a New Youth Center in Ebl Es-Saqi
December 3, 2008With funding from USAID/OTI (Office of Transition Initiatives), a new Youth Center was recently inaugurated at Ebl Es-Saqi in Marjayoun by the USAID/Lebanon Mission Director Denise A. Herbol. The idea to establish the Youth Center initially stems from the need to establish a community space for the youth of this area to meet, attract other youth activists and offer services to students. The project, in a multi-confessional area, was implemented in partnership with the Lebanese Development Forum (LDF), a local organization active in the area. As part of the project, OTI also provided a leadership training camp for the youth. Both the mayors and youth present expressed their desire to find compromise and religious tolerance through programs which will be designed and implemented by the youth.
