Help 4 Beirut: #1
Within days of the tragic explosion in Beirut August 2020, Noor and Moe immediately reached out to Mrs.Blum, their school’s principal, to start a disaster relief drive in the park of the community they live in; which lasted for weeks. Our team reached out to food banks, and local supermarkets to collect donations to maximize the help Lebanon could receive. After two long months of sorting, collecting, and packing they finally shipped their first twenty foot container to Beirut prepared from their garage! They started this project in the midst of the pandemic and took action immediately, spreading awareness, and gaining the support of their community for a country some people haven’t heard of before.
Humanitarian Help to Lebanon: #2
Noor and Moe started the first Arabic Club at American Heritage Plantation campus and successfully shipped their second container within a two week time frame. The colossal amount of donations required for them to rent out a warehouse to store the aid and to pack them. Our team met almost everyday at the warehouse during their spring break. They commuted daily to Miami and spent days at the warehouse. It brought them all together and they had a cause to unite for. They collected food supplies, life saving supplies, hundreds of wheelchairs, walkers, and oxygen machines that were sent to the newly opened clinic by BASD. The first baby delivered at the clinic benefited from the donations sent. They provided thousands of backpacks and school uniforms for a school affected and supplied over 15,000 people with the donations sent.
Humanitarian Help to Lebanon: #3
In June 2021, our team met many days at the warehouse and organized, packed, palletize, sort, and collected donations. They did successfully ship their 3rd 40 foot container of food to send and help out Lebanon overcome their humanitarian crisis. They did it in partnership with Beirut for social Development non-profit organization and the Arabic Club of American Heritage.

Additionally, they raised enough money to give a three month scholarship to 2 students with a learning disability in need to pay his monthly tuition to the studio.
