God's everlasting Cedars land is on its knees and crying. The country is crying the children of the widow. I am shedding bitter tears for the missing brothers, fathers, sisters, mothers and children, and it breaks my soul to see the disaster that has occurred in the land of God.
On Tuesday, August 4 2020, two succinct explosions on the Beirut, Lebanon Port caused massive damage to the port, the surrounding buildings, the loss of potentially hundreds of lives, and tens of thousands of injuries. time stopped then for Beirut and the world. the explosion was heard and felt 90 nautical miles away in Cyprus and Limassol. 10 miles radius of damage. An estimated 500,000 housing units were damaged, and some 1,500,000 people were left homeless and without means in a fraction of seconds. Few moments changed the topography of a city on the beautiful Mediterranean coast. Few moments affected the lives of young middle aged and old. This event is not only a major financial disaster for Lebanon, it is an overwhelming humanitarian crisis for the Lebanese people and Lebanon as a country and its economy.
A member of the Board of Directors of Orchard Valley Fine Arts Foundation, Dr. Jean-Aimé Medici, who is American Lebanese, has many friends and relatives who have been directly affected by this crisis. Dr. Medici founded Humanitas Mundi, an organization whose mission is to provide services and resources for the global communities with humanitarian assistance. Dr. Medici and Orchard Valley Fine Arts Foundation, Inc., a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, have taken plight for such a horrific incident and decided to work together in order to raise emergency capital to aid those affected by this tragedy that has potentially touched millions living in the immediate proximity of the port.
Your generous donation will immediately help those in the affected area with direct humanitarian aid and financial support. Thank you for your kindness.
Snap Shot into The History
Phoenicia (/fəˈnɪʃə/; from Ancient Greek: Φοινίκη, Phoiníkē) was an ancient Semitic-speaking thalassocratic civilization that originated in the Levant region of the eastern Mediterranean, specifically modern Lebanon.
The Phoenician culture originated in the Eastern Mediterranean region of the Levant (Southern Syria, Lebanon and Northern Israel) in the 2nd millennium BCE (although this area had been settled since the Neolithic period). The Phoenicians founded the coastal city-states of Byblos, Sidon and Tyre (ancient Canaan). Over the centuries merchants and explorers from these city-states spread across the Mediterranean; and perhaps even navigated as far as the British Isles to bring back tin—a scarcity in the Mediterranean but a crucial ingredient, along with copper (from the island of Cyprus where the Phoenicians also had a foothold), for the making of bronze. The culture of Lebanon and the Lebanese people emerged from various civilizations over thousands of years. It is home to the Phoenicians and was subsequently conquered and occupied by the Assyrians, the Persians the Greeks, the Romans, the Arabs, the Crusaders, the Ottoman Turks, the French, and a civil war of 30 years with a Syrian occupation that finally showed what the Lebanese can do.

Explaining what we are doing
Lebanon is in distress and Beirut is wounded, we need all of you to help directly the residents, friends and families of Beirut;- in deeds, and not in words.

- More powerful than a nuclear bomb.
- Instantly more devastating, and longer term disastrous than COVID.
- Thousands in Lebanon without work due to the explosion of the port...who is and how to compensate?
- A Million and a Half Beirutis Lebanese without homes or cars.
- Many buried under the rubbles
