JOY OF GIVING

About Us -History

Joy of Giving is a non-denominational and apolitical association, established in 1985, during the Lebanese civil war, simultaneously in France and in Lebanon by Lebanese and French students. Our association was registered in the Official Journal of the Lebanese Republic under no. 212 A/D and the Official Journal of the French Republic in 1987.

Based on the values of forgiveness, respect and love, Joy of Giving’s mission is to unite the Lebanese family , through ethical and social projects, and to repair the deep wounds created between its various denominations and regions through fifteen years of war. Founded in 1985, Joy of Giving seeks to promote understanding and unity of the Lebanese people and is involved in the weaving of social ties between the Lebanese by promoting a culture of collective responsibility.

Projects & InitiativesPeace Camps - Lebanon

Joy of Giving’s peace colonies, initiated in 1985 during the Lebanese civil war, have been meeting annually since then. Every year, hundreds of kids from across the country come together, without discrimination of religion or region, to spread the ideas of peace.

Over 300 children from 8 to 13 years old come together each year to share love, respect and forgiveness. There, all have learned to live together despite their differences. Once back in their families, they will henceforth be messengers of peace.

-VISIT OF JUVENILE DELINQUENT CENTER

Monthly visits are organized for children in juvenile delinquent centers. We go on a Saturday afternoon, once a month, to a rehab center and offer many activities, both physical (through games), and creative. We also come to show and bring our support, and to listen to them, something for them that is rarely granted.

-SWEATERS FOR PRISONERS

On the occasion of Christmas, New Years and winter coming rapidly, Joy of Giving, with other associations, schools and universities, attempt to collect sweaters that will distributed to all prisoners in Lebanese prisons to keep them warm with the colder temperatures.

Much more than just a sweater, it’s a generous thought that we will offer to our inmates, it’s more than just a simple visit, it’s a time of sharing that we will live together.

-CHRISTMAS TREE

Christmas and New Years are opportunities to bring the Lebanese family together ,starting with our children. Our objective was to introduce the children living in the colonies during the year to one another. It was a magical day, the meeting offered an oasis of joy with 800 children attending a theatre performance offered by Gisele Hachem Zard and his troupe in Jal el Dib. Later, Santa Clause made an appearance to give out gifts. The children came from all over Lebanon, irrespective of religious or political affiliation.
