Welcome!

On June 17 last there arrived in Lebanon, returning from Venezuela, our friend and compatriot Mrs. Widad Abd al-Baqi Assaf, accompanied by her husband, Mr. Youssef Assaf, honorary consul of Lebanon in Venezuela, and their five children (four boys and a girl). We have learned that the family intends to settle permanently in Lebanon, where the children will attend school, while Mr. Assaf returns alone, at the end of the summer, to his place of business in Venezuela.

It is worth mentioning that Mrs. Widad is a graduate of Beirut College for Women and was one of the most active of our ladies in the ranks of the Lebanese community in the Mahjar.

So welcome to our dear friend and her gracious family — and would that every Lebanese family in the lands of emigration across the seven seas might follow her example!
