I post the following tribute with sadness and a heavy heart. Our dear friend has returned to his creator. Just over four years ago today elmassih and I teamed up, along with an amazing group of generous South Australians, to lead Drive for the people of Lebanon. Kef was a true gentleman, a generous soul, and a doer. It was a pleasure and honour to work closely with him on this project, and to benefit many individuals in need, in Lebanon, & following its economic collapse and the 2020 Beirut port explosion.
Sincere Condolences to the El Masih family. Rest in peace dear Kifah.

Great news!
The shipping container has been released & Beit El Baraka have begun to unload the contents.
Deep appreciation & thanks to everyone who supported the project & donated goods!
This could not have been possible without the collective generosity of the community at large.
The arrival of the goods could not have come sooner. The situation in Lebanon is deteriorating by the day, and genuine need for basic necessities sadly continues to rise.
Thank you again, & more updates to come...
