Y.A.N.A. (You Are Not Alone) for Social Care and Follow-up’s first Mother’s Day Fundraising Gala Dinner was held on Wednesday, March 25th, 2009 at the Riviera Hotel in Manara str., Beirut.
Over 150 guests attended this event which was sponsored by many well-reputed organizations including but not limited to Carati Paris, Siom, Zod Security, Banque Audi, Atamian, Hotel Riviera, and [In]Leb which was selling items including t-shirts, aprons and mugs where profits benefited the Y.A.N.A. project.
The entertainment was offered by Ms. Carole Hobeika who sang a selection of French, English and Arabic popular songs and was DJ-ed by Raffi Feghali (Beats for Peace). We also had the pleasure of witnessing some young Lebanese talents with the troop ImproBeirut directed by Lucien Bourjeily in a few interactive and improvised scenes.
All guests received a small souvenir in the form of a small bag containing a pottery and some grains to plant, with a quote by John Lennon: “Love is a flower you’ve got to let grow”.

(You Are Not Alone) provides follow-up with families facing social difficulties and offers them different social services (dispensary/ clinic, orphanage/ foster home, children’s group, women’s group) to best serve their needs, especially mothers and children.
