New staff members: Karine and Young
Karine, who is a sister of Levon (English Teacher for the High School Program), also joined our Integrated Nursery in September 2009 and now we have a wonderful teacher whose heart is guided towards loving and giving. Karine came as a great support to Nadine who was trying to find a good team of teachers for the Nursery. Nadine is presently teaching at the Nursery and helping develop a special program for the integrated Nursery, supported by two teachers, Wadad and Karine. Arzeh, who is deaf, and was Nadine’s student when she was six years old, has also become an assistant teacher at the Nursery in addition to supervising the boarding girls at night.
Young is a volunteer from Korea who came to the LCD through Hiyam, the High School
teacher, who knew of our need for someone to assist Arzeh at the girls’ boarding section. She introduced Young to us, and Young then needed a permit to stay in Lebanon through an association. Young was delighted to help us; she is a beautiful lady who left her country in order to come to Lebanon and serve the people as a way to serve God, when she heard of the war of 2006 and its horrors.
She is now helping create a very motherly atmosphere at the boarding, and she is also assisting us at least twice a week during the day, wherever there is a need, to prepare material or replace a sick Nursery teacher.
