How to Help Beirut Lebanon after Terror Attacks


        

      Many articles are going around about how to help those in Paris, France after the horrible Terror Attacks that happened last week but we are forgetting about the souls lost in Beirut. I decided to do my own research and come up with a list of charities located in Lebanon, specifically Beirut for you to donate to in order to help.

Lebanese Association of SOS Children's Villages Charity Profile

http://www.sos.org.lb/
The first SOS Children's Village was founded in Imst -Austria, in 1949, in the aftermath of the Second World War. Hermann Gmeiner was devastated by the large numbers of orphaned and abandoned children. He believed they urgently needed love, security, and a home.


The SOS Children's Villages have made one simple idea their whole educational work. They have grown from the assumption that no child can live without a family, that the child needs the family in order to develop and unfold his physical, mental and spiritual powers.
