Leila Jiryes Ghantous

I worked throughout my association with the various societies towards the fundamental goal of promoting the image of my country Lebanon, for its good and beautiful characteristics and most importantly the vitality and the ability of Lebanese people and their resourcefulness in cultural and educational interaction at home and abroad. In this context, I worked in collaboration with several of my colleagues to organize trips and exploratory visits to various parts of the country.  In addition, we were keen to invite eminent personalities from Lebanon and abroad to speak to the members of the societies, and to learn what we are doing in the service of Lebanon. It gives me honor to recall that the First Lady of Lebanon chaired the final annual celebration of the “Women’s League" at the American University of Beirut, and for the same purpose numerous foreign Ambassadors to Lebanon had been invited to attend this celebration.
