The Light of Hope

Fall 2022

The streets around campus are lit again thanks to an initiative mobilized by staff from AUB’s Procurement and Contracts Administration (PCA) Department. AUB collaborated with the NGO Rebirth Beirut and Medco petroleum company as part of the “Light up our community” project which provides incentives to owners of generators through reimbursement for the supply of diesel to light up the streets of Beirut.

The lighting of Bliss Street (phase one of the AUB initiative) was celebrated with a community concert organized by the AUB Neighborhood Initiative with a performance by Teyyarit Waraq.
