Wishing Stewart all the best, here’s to a well-deserved and happy retirement! 

A note from Stewart:

After almost 25 years it is time to move on, I don’t want a traditional leaving collection but if you want to make a donation I have chosen CARE who we have supported before and have been supporting the people of Lebanon since 2006 . They need our support more than ever following the devastating explosion at the Port.

________________________________________________________________________

A devastating explosion in the port of Beirut has killed more than 100 people, injured thousands, and destroyed countless homes. The disaster has also destroyed 85% of the food stock stored at the port which will have a massive impact on the 1.1 million refugees who fled war in Syria currently living in Lebanon. Lebanon was already facing a triple crisis; with an economic and food crisis and the most recent COVID-19 health crisis. Beirut also has the third highest population of Syrian refugees in the country (hosting over 200,000 people) who are already some of the most vulnerable and stand to also be some of the worst affected by this latest tragedy.Families are in urgent need of shelter, food, and emergency supplies. CARE is on the ground in Lebanon and our teams are rapidly assessing the needs and preparing to respond with lifesaving support to help families recover from this disaster.Together we can help respond with lifesaving support for people affected by the disaster.
