BEIRUT, February 1, 2022 – Emile Rassam Foundation and Smile in A Box, two organizations that seek to go the extra mile when it comes to helping those in need, joined forces into distributing over a thousand smiles to children across the nation.
Emile Rassam was founded in 1949 and operated with a team of visionaries to soon become an emerging name in the hospitality sector. Its founder, Emile Rassam, passed away in 1993 and left his courage, legacy for quality, and big shoes to fill. Ever since, the family has expanded to take on new challenges all over the world. Emile Rassam is fully committed to making a difference in the world we live in.
This Christmas saw the presence of Lara Kahoush and Mirna Sayegh, Founders of Smile in A Box, Elie Rassam, CEO of Emile Rassam, and Vicky Hales, Group Director of Emile Rassam, who consolidated their efforts to help draw a smile on innocent faces this holiday season. Members of both entities contributed to the success of this event where the Emile Rassam Foundation donated more than 1,500 t-shirts alongside Smile in A Box who included food, hygienic products, and toys to be distributed all over Lebanon.
For four consecutive years, Smile in A Box has sought to draw smiles on children’s faces through the support of boxes of food and useful kids’ items. Founded on the principles of obtaining quality for life, education, and respect for its fellow citizens, Emile Rassam Foundation made sure to participate in this recurring event to spread out a helping hand to those who acquire little resources.
Better education, good living, and healthy families are what Emile Rassam Foundation seeks to achieve. Apart from that, the foundation also extends a helping hand to those with healthcare issues and have little access to resources. Helping the community is what brings joy and sparkle to the foundations as it strives to pay tribute to its founder.
Emile Rassam Foundation also offers opportunities to gain skills and build careers through talent trainings and workshops by focusing on the importance of investing in talents to increase local independence and employability.
