Mrs. Rabab Sadr, accompanied by Imam Sadr Foundation Director General Mr. Nijad Charafeddine, visited Dr. Joeseph Jabra, President of LAU in celebration of Easter and thanking him for participating in the charitable dinner organized by Sadr Foundation USA.
Dr. Jabra addressed the audience at that ceremony with a valuable speech in which he presented the uniqueness of the Foundation and the message that it carries, which reflected the vision of Imam Sadr and the perseverance of Mrs. Rabab Sadr in contributing to building a just and open society via series of initiatives and projects aimed at improving the situation of vulnerable groups, by empowering women to contribute to economic and social life and in determining options for the future. These goals and values combine the “Foundation” with the Lebanese American University, which seeks to spread knowledge and build skills and staff for all people and groups.
