During an uplifting inauguration ceremony, BBAC and Live Lebanon proudly unveiled the rehabilitated Freiha El Hajj Public School for girls in Nabatiyeh.  The school, which was in extremely dilapidated condition before intervention, now boasts aluminum windows, an indoor playground, and a renovated roof so that its 200 students can learn in a safe, healthy environment.

The inauguration was attended by Mr. Ghaleb Farha, the Goodwill Ambassador of the Arab Gulf region, Mr. Luca Renda, the UNDP Director, Mr. Raghed Assi, the UNDP Program Manager, as well as BBAC managers. They were later invited by the school director to tour the modernized school and enjoy a show performed by its students.

Mr. Tarek Bilal, Head of Marketing Department at BBAC, said, “The entire day was an extraordinary success as staff and students commemorated the school’s transformation into a learning environment that will encourage students’ growth into the leaders of tomorrow.”

BBAC’s ongoing partnership with Live Lebanon, a UNDP initiative that promotes health, environment, economic and youth projects throughout the country, demonstrates the bank’s commitment to creating positive change within all communities in which it operates.
