Hello friends, We’re back with another newsletter! This summer has been so eventful for us, and it seems like our effort has been noticed by the DISTRICT! More information on that exciting news later, though. Summer’s recently been extremely hot for many of us, especially this August. We hope you guys are staying cool and healthy and drinking lots of boba (or whatever drink you like)! We’re always so excited to make these newsletters, and with the school year coming up, we hope it’ll make our potential members excited to be a part of our super (hehe punny) family! We hope that all of you will have an easy transition into online schooling, and that you take time to focus on yourself once school starts. We love you all, and thank you for reading!

LEBANON:

Tragedy in Beirut and a Nation in Crisis

To understand why the explosion in Beirut last month was so especially devastating, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to take a look at Lebanonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history. The country has been suffering from social, political, economic, and health crises for years due to corruption and mismanagement, hurting their economy and leaving them especially vulnerable to a tragedy such as this.

Donate Lebanese Red Cross -- https://supportlrc.app/ donate/ Global Aid for Lebanon -- https://www.globalcitizen.org/en/info/global-aid-lebanon/ Volunteer Lebanese Red Cross -- https://savelives.me/volunteer/ The Volunteer Circle -- https://thevolunteercircle. com/

Healthcare is extremely underfunded and lacks crucial resources and infrastructure. Tens of thousands of citizens are victims of poverty, and extreme inflation has been taking place in the past few years, tripling prices. With their current issues and the additional effects of COVID-19, their situation has worsened over time. With the August 4 Beirut Explosion, more than 170 people have been killed, infrastructure is further devastated, and thousands are injured, which have overwhelmed hospitals.

Contact us!! go ahead, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be shy!
