The Learning Center for the Deaf (LCD) has been established, in 2002, with the dream of providing a proper program for young deaf children and their families, which will enable the deaf child to have a good start in life and a better future. During a preparatory phase of the programs, Hussein Ismail, who is a deaf man himself, achieved his Doctorate Degree in Educational Administration, in the year 2000. The Association of Parents for the Deaf, who saw in Hussein hope for the future of their children, since education for deaf children terminated at the Brevet level (9th grade), asked the President of Lebanon to decorate Hussein with a “Medal of Deserve” in recognition of his achievement.
