The Red In Circle association, supported by MTV, launched the Mission South project in Lebanon to aid Christian families in southern border villages. The initiative focuses on three pillars: education, heating, and safe access. It aims to provide 1,500 school bags and laptops, supply heating oil for winter, and coordinate safe corridors for aid delivery. Deputy Ghada Ayoub served as goodwill ambassador, emphasizing that maintaining the Christian presence is a national issue tied to Lebanese identity. Former Minister Richard Quomajian of the Lebanese Forces highlighted the role of the diaspora in supporting these communities. The project seeks to prevent permanent displacement and ensure the political and social resilience of these historic populations.
A village in northern Iraq is preparing to host the country's largest shrine dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The project, led by a Chaldean priest, features an 18-meter statue of Mary and Jesus sculpted by a local artist. The design incorporates Eastern artistic details, such as a base resembling the Samara spiral and braided hair on the statue, to reflect local heritage. Funded by donations, the site aims to become a major destination for religious tourism and spiritual reflection.
