Inspired

The news you hear so often about Lebanon is so depressing and negative. This was so uplifting, I also live in Australia (like the others who have reviewed this) and it’s easy to feel helpless. This podcast has inspired me to want to get more involved with making a difference in Lebanon.

A must listen

So refreshing to hear the positive side of Lebanon and it’s people. Having grown up in Australia, far too many times you hear about the negativity of the country and it’s politics.

Refreshing and informative!

It’s so good to hear positive and uplifting stories from my country of birth, especially after having lived through the horrors of the civil war.

Keep up the great work guys!
