Summer after 24 years of endless hip hopping around the globe
from the Middle East to Europe and Africa and from Lebanon to
the Americas, the CIS and Oceania. Walid is currently refurbish-
ing the law office of his late father Noureddin Noureddin at
Baraka building, Hamra, Ras Beirut as a consultancy and legal
services office specialized in contractual and corporate affairs.
The international aspects of the business will be undertaken
in the name of Projects Realization Consultants SA which is a
Panamanian company established in 2002 with wide experi-
ence in the implementation of investment projects around the
globe. The local consultancy scope will be handled in the name
of Middle East Consultancy Bureau, cc a legal firm established
in 2010 versed in contractual and corporate aspects of projects’
implementation. Walid has yet to determine whether his family
will return with him to Lebanon whereby he will indeed seek
that his son Omar, presently grade 9 in St. Lawrence college in
Athens, be accepted to join IC.

Elie Khammar
is a professional photographer residing in Russia.
“In addition to the Arabic, French, and English that I learned
in IC, I am now fluent in Russian too. At Berlitz, the Language
school where I was studying in Montreal, the coordinator of pro-
grams at Berlitz was
Mazen
Karkanawi ‘93
, also an IC
alumni,” he writes. “I just
met a nice lady in Vladimir,
Russia last year. She teaches
law at the Law institute in
Vladimir, and she is fluent
only in Russian. She has
been taking classes in
English, but her teacher is
not as good as my late Mr.Philip Najjar I had in my IC years, so I
am helping her learn English, thanks to Mr. Najjar ‘s special way
in teaching English Grammar. We just got married on May 17,
2014 in Vladimir, Russia and I guess I was the last among my
classmates who did so....
Whatever what we do in our lives, and whatever languages we
learn and the countries we travel or immigrate to, the school
where we were raised has always a strong positive influence on
us, and helps us achieve all our goals. Thanks to IC and all my
teachers and classmates for the great 10 years I had in your
classes and campus.” www.ekhammarphotographer.com
