[THIS FAMILY IS ALREADY MENTORED] Marie FELFLE is a widowed Teta living with two of her daughters, Saada and Nayle. Saada is an adult with special needs and therefore stays at home to help out Teta Marie. Nayle works during the week in a bedding store. Teta Marie has 5 other children but the vast majority live far away and cannot visit regularly. Teta Marie still likes to cook, but she is severely diminished by multiple surgeries, especially to the heart, making it difficult for her to walk. This family has endured much throughout the life of each of its members, especially because of physical and mental health issues. Despite all this, the FELFLEs demonstrate how though lebanese families are, as they keep consistent faith, goodwill and hope for the future.

Maurice and Maha NAJEM are a young couple and the parents of Léa, 10 years old, and Lynn, 15 years old. Maha lost her job over a year and half ago because of the economic crisis, and Maurice is employed in a garage. Their daughters had to leave the private school they were attending to go to a public school, because it had become too expensive. Both are great students, and are fluent in french, which they love to practice with our French volunteers each time they come by. Part of their extended family lives in the same building, which makes it easier for the children to play together, and for the families to help out each other.

Georgette CHEDID is the mother of three and has divorced last year from Georges, after 9 years of separation. Giorgio, 24 years old, is the eldest son and lives with his father. Georgik, the second son, lives between his father's and mother's homes, whilst the third child, Giorgino, 11 years old, lives only with his mother. Georgette doesn't have a professional occupation at the moment, and the pension her ex-husband sends her is too meager for her to raise her son. A friend helps Georgette with the clothing and the tuition fees, and she can also count on Teta w Jeddo to help her out. Giorgino is especially close to his mother and works hard at school.

Khalil and Layal EL ELLIEH, 51 and 38 years old, are a married couple since 2005. Khalil works as a security agent, and Layal was an account auditor for 4 years. After the births of Steven, 12 yo, Louna, 10 yo, and Yves 8 yo, she decided to stay at home to take care of her children. All three children are good in school, and they already have a dream profession : sports coach for Steven, doctor for Louna, and engineer for Yves.

Despite the difficulties, the EL ELLIEH family remains generous with their neighbors in the need, and demonstrate remarkable positivity.
