Nassib El Khoury

Beirut - Lebanon | July 18

I am not here to blame anyone, I am not here to insult the guilty. I am here to ask for a favor, a favor that might change the history of a nation. Help, HELP is the favor I am asking for.
It is a word formed by four letters, but those four letters form a strong word.
One week ago, my friends and I were enjoying the calm sunny summer days in our beloved country. One week ago, I was spending my days with my friends who came from different countries to enjoy the summer in their country: LEBANON.
But what are we doing now?
Some of us are trying to find ways to leave to a safer place.
Some of us are hiding in the mountains, scared of the bombs and the aircrafts flying above our heads.
Some of us spends their nights, making themselves sleep while repeating to themselves "that are everything is going to be fine"
That in brief is what we are doing lately.
Where will this lead, what might become to us isn't what we are really thinking of right now. The only thing that is dominating our minds is "what might become to us right now" in two minutes, in an hour, tomorrow.
I am here to ask for a favor.
HELP US!
