ولم تكد هذه الخواطر تهدأ حتى تبدّلت الأغنية، وكأن الراديو يجيب عن السؤال الذي عجزت عن إيجاد جواب له:
“عابَ مجدَكَ بالمذلّة والهزائم
حينما هبّ الجنوبُ لكي يقاوم
إنّ تاريخ الإباء غيرُ نائم
يكتبُ عن أرضِنا أرضَ الملاحم”
عندها فهمت شيئاً من سرّ هذا الجنوب.
وإن أشرقت ألف شمس، فأي نور يعوّض أولئك الذين رحلوا؟ أي ضياء يستبدل وجوهاً حفرت نفسها في ذاكرتنا؟ أولئك الأطفال الذين لم يكبروا، والأمهات اللواتي انتظرن ولم يعد أحد، والآباء الذين ودّعوا أبناءهم على أمل لقاء لم يأتِ.
An honor beyond words. Forever grateful for the opportunity to recite this poem in memory of the late Prof. Makhlouf Haddadin. Thank you Dr. Kaafarani for your constant support and belief in students and their voices
Mouhamad Chhaitle from our #TrEd_Team_AUB recited an Arabic poem during our 2026 AUB #ChemCarnival. The poem is dedicated to the late Prof. Makhlouf Haddadin, who served AUB with much distinction for 57 years:

Today February 7th, 2026, marks 15 years since the birth of our #TrEd@AUB_Lebanon.
On this day in 2011, two foundational initiatives that would shape what TrEd stands for today started: the International Organic Chemistry Competition & the Makhlouf Haddadin Endowment to support the Makhlouf Haddadin Awards and the Makhlouf Haddadin Lectureship. What began as a commitment to scientific rigor and meaningful mentorship became the foundation of a growing educational ecosystem.
Over the past 15 years, TrEd has sprouted into 10 vibrant initiatives, but its core belief and guiding principle have remained steadfast: education is transformative when it is driven by curiosity, excellence, and purpose; when knowledge is shared across generations, impact continues to endure and transcend boundaries and expectations.
Despite the countless hurdles and obstacles that we have faced in the last 15 years, our TrEd honors today more than a milestone; we celebrate a shared journey shaped by students, mentors, and changemakers who believed in the lasting power of learning.
Here’s to 15 years of TrEd, and to the future we continue to build together.
