What I have done for Lebanon
Each of us has their own way in serving the nation. I can say that I have contributed to a national service by ensuring that there is a local development component for most of the projects I am participating in or the ideas of the projects I am proposing. The Middle East Aviation Research Society and the Women in Aviation Forum are two initiatives initiated by members and founding members from Lebanon to the Middle East and the Gulf States. These two initiatives were characterized by leadership on the level of proposals and activities that have a developmental dimension culturally and socially. I am proud to be a founding member of these two initiatives, which hold the best picture of Lebanon for the world.
