The Home for the Aged in Aley

In the town of Aley there is a blessed movement headed by Mrs. Aybina Khalaf, whose first aim is to build a home for the aged to serve all Lebanese, ladies and men alike, and of all communities without exception. The founding of this association goes back three years. It has carried out charitable works in which clothing and assistance were distributed to poor families.

Recently it succeeded in purchasing a plot of land on which to build this project, and it is now working to collect the necessary funds from generous Lebanese, both residents and emigrants, so that it may begin at once to carry out this humanitarian project, which will do much to help solve the problems of old age in our country.

The "Home for the Aged Association" has resolved that whoever builds at his own expense a room in this home, or more than one, shall have his name written upon its door as an everlasting memorial; and it calls upon the people of piety and charity to take part in this noble project.
