The guest speaker of Helping Hand Society for January 2016 was the environmental engineer Ziad Abi Chaker. He talked about the garbage dilemma in Lebanon, and more about the real solutions. "Garbage is not a problem, it is a resource", said Mr Chaker. "We believe, we can reach zero waste policy and reduce the remains of untreated waste to minimum". Interesting discussions were followed, and many attracting examples were given, in particular, the eco-board technology that transforms plastic bags and scrap into panel boards. We can green our culture and turn the waste pilling up on our streets into verdant.

May His love flames the voice of faith in our hearts, because faith illuminates our steps and the horizon of the New Year to come.
