The Partnership for Lebanon

The Partnership for Lebanon is a collaborative effort designed to help the people of Lebanon build a better future. Launched in September 2006, the Partnership is led by five US companies: Cisco, GHAFARI Inc., Intel Corporation, Microsoft, and Occidental Petroleum Corporation.

Working through public private partnerships and with the Lebanese people, the Partnership is focused on expanding the reach of education and workforce training, creating jobs, building out the country's technology infrastructure, and using technology to connect communities to important government resources.

As the Partnership celebrates its first year this month, it also celebrates a catalogue of accomplishments. Among these: five community centers have been established in the five villages, two thousand students have been trained and 650 have been certified in IT Academies, and 25 interns have been placed at Cisco, Intel and GHAFARI in the United States of America.

The focus of the Partnership is on five work streams:

1- ICT Infrastructure
2- Workforce Training and Education
3- Job Creation/Private Sector Revival
4- Connected Communities and Governments
5- Relief and Response

Inspirational :  Making a Difference   

An old man walked up a shore littered with
thousands of starfish, beached and dying after a storm. 
A young man was picking them up and flinging them back into the ocean.
"Why do you bother?" the old man scoffed.
"You're not saving enough of them to make a difference."
They young man picked up and sent is spinning back to the water,
"Made a difference to that one," he said.

You make a difference every day.
