Hamra
Festival
Once again, IC mom Iman Assaf, founder
of Ahla Fawdah (“the best chaos”)
brought festivities to Hamra Street.
Thousands of people showed up despite
the sweltering June sun. Last October,
Ahla Fawdah held Halloween activities
all along the street. But this marks the
first time that the organization holds a
“Hamra Festival” which displayed hun-
dreds of booths offering activities, food
or various items on sale. All shops and
restaurants remained open for the event.
Assaf herself could be spotted amidst
the crowds. “I haven’t slept in days,” she
confided.
Ahla Fawdah is made of a group of IC
moms who love Hamra. All proceeds are
donated to improve the district.
Fun and Sports Day
The Ras Beirut Parent’s Committee
organized a “Fun and Sports” day for
elementary school students and their
parents on June 1
st
. Fathers, mothers
and kids spent the morning competing
against each other and ended the day
with a football game. Everyone won and
all received medals.
