Blue Sky Stuff: Lebanon

: Name: nige

Summer 2012 I was wondering what my purpose is, and set an intention to spend the rest of my life travelling the world spreading happiness. This based on work in happiness field since 2006. Alongside this, to make it sustainable, I am a multi project manager and offer happiness coaching, strategy mentoring and English training. One of my passions is EDUCATION and I am steadily moving in that area to create more access to affordable exciting blended learning by combining access to internet based education and a network of fantastic trainers ( under the branding The Learning Street – ” building community based education on the street” ). I had an early experience in Moedling, happiest city on earth, setting up a library and computer room. Vision now is remotely managed popup and permanent learning rooms with access to a lifelong learning portal for members / with a lifelong personal learning mentor for members too.

Lebanon

Nigel Stonham

Just now

19:21 GMT - Will explosion cause a humanitarian disaster?
Lebanon was in a dire state even before the enormous explosion which wrecked much of Beirut.

The government is bankrupt, the currency is almost worthless and millions of Lebanese are jobless. The explosion made things worse by destroying the main port for a nation heavily reliant on food imports.

Some 300,000 people made homeless in Beirut have received little help from the government. Lebanon is also home to 1.5 million Syrian refugees.

How will aid organisations deal with the challenge?

Two government ministers resign as world leaders pledge hundreds of millions of dollars at emergency donor conference.
