Wow! 40,000 Canadians made a donation to the
@humcoalition matching fund for #Lebanon. All told, that's $18.2 million raised to help the people of Lebanon. Your generosity makes me feel proud to be Canadian! 🇨🇦🇱🇧 #BeirutBlast #InternationalDayofCharity

A powerful read by our very own @Mayssamz, on her native #Lebanon

"Beirut is etched into our psyche in a way that is mythical, magical, and whimsical. We dream of returning one day, but it takes stamina and resilience to make it in #Beirut." https://t.co/yjP06ir5r0
