Fun and Sports Day Hamra Festival

Fun and sports day

The Ras Beirut Parent’s Committee organized a “Fun and Sports” day for elementary school students and their parents on June 1st. Fathers, mothers and kids spent the morning competing against each other and ended the day with a football game. Everyone won and all received medals.

Once again, IC mom Iman Assaf, founder of Ahla Fawdah (“the best chaos”) brought festivities to Hamra Street. Thousands of people showed up despite the sweltering June sun. Last October, Ahla Fawdah held Halloween activities all along the street. But this marks the first time that the organization holds a “Hamra Festival” which displayed hundreds of booths offering activities, food or various items on sale. All shops and restaurants remained open for the event. Assaf herself could be spotted amidst the crowds. “I haven’t slept in days,” she confided.

Ahla Fawdah is made of a group of IC moms who love Hamra. All proceeds are donated to improve the district.
