Lebanon is a Beautiful
Country!
4 million people live in
Lebanon,
but about 3 million Lebanese
descendants live in the USA!
Together, we want to work
to make it possible and
easy for Lebanon's lost
children to register in their
country of origin!
Our Cause is Vital;
Our Task is Tough;
But, Together,
We Can Prevail!
Register & Spread the Word!
