The youth center in Nabatieh, which we have named the ‘Shabab Center’, has been launched and students are coming every Friday afternoon to participate in an array of clubs.
We held a training-of-trainers before the project commenced and we have selected a really energetic, charismatic group that is dedicated to the project, the center and the community. I think they are going to be a lot of fun to work with and very engaged.
Here is a picture from one of the days of training:

The new media and journalism training course I have designed the curriculum for has been named ‘Shoul Akhbar’ (a commonly used Arabic phrase for ‘what’s up’ that translates literally to ‘what’s the news?’).
Some of the Shoul Akhbar students:

Also on April 28, the Amb. from India was visiting Lebanon and came to visit the Shabab Center along with MP Jaber, several members of the Lebanese Army and the Indian section of UNIFIL.
