Happiness Heroes
Taaneyil was our target, and hitting that target was exciting. Six different themes, different activities, different faces, and different stages were what we had to pass through in the “Happiness Heroes” event.
On May 21, we gathered at school and got ready to take off. On the way there, the buses were like a popcorn pan with fun all around. In 2 hours, we reached Taaneyil, a town in Bekaa’ Valley. In a local monastery, a group of monitors gathered around us, distributing us into eight groups of eight each. Time to start taking actions began where we were supposed to pass through the six themes of happiness heroes. Some of them were: helping build a house for elderly, gaming in a way to feel how handicaps suffer, treasure hunted words to build up a sentence, and many others.
At the end of the day, awards were distributed. Our first award was a delicious meal consisting of: Picon, Nutella, juice, and chocolate. Next, we attended the closing ceremony where the top Lebanese hero, Maxim Chaaya, was the honorable guest who distributed awards for the minor heroes. Fortunately, we reserved the third place in the Shining Heart Hero activity.
To sum up, we guess these words couldn’t really express what we’ve been through on that day, but this event created an album in our memory, etched and would never be erased.
