“Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those giving more.” H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

I’m really thankful for the generous gift that you had given me. Your donation has motivated me to continue my hard work and accomplish my goals.

I’m also really grateful that you have decided to help me in my journey; the money couldn’t have come in a better time.

Dear Sheikh Jebrael Geha family,

I would like to genuinely thank you for the generous and considerate scholarship you have granted me. In the midst of the hardships we are facing in Lebanon, you have truly given us hope with your acts of kindness and generosity. You have given me the opportunity to continue pursuing my education and prioritizing it above all in my life.

More importantly, you have reminded us that knowledge is the most powerful tool of all, and through it we are able to achieve our goals and dreams. One day, I hope I’ll be able to pay it forward and support this school which has nourished me and instilled in me the positive moral values I need to excel in my journey.

I would like to thank you again and express my honest gratitude.

Dear Sheikh Jebrael Geha family,

Mother Teresa once said, "Your true character is most accurately measured by how you treat those who can do nothing for you." You assisted us during these harsh situations and spread kindness without any reward, that alone is inspiring, caring, and encouraging. Your generosity has indeed made a difference in my life. It is surely going to push me forward in my life to pursue my dreams. I pray and hope that one day I can aid those in need.

In short, thank you will never be enough, and I'm grateful to have experienced this opportunity.

Dear members of the Sheikh Jebrael Geha family,

“It’s easier to take than to give. It’s nobler to give than to take. The thrill of taking lasts a day. The thrill of giving lasts a lifetime.” I am writing this letter to express my deep gratitude and sincere feelings for your support. I am very thankful for being chosen to receive your scholarship. Definitely, this will motivate me to put even much greater effort to achieve my goals.

Your kindness and giving will always be appreciated. Besides, it will be a reminder that one day I would do the same.

We write to you this note to express our deep gratitude and appreciation for your continued support towards the renewal and upgrade of the Bishmizzeen High School. This has been done most recently through your generous donation to the classrooms of Smartboards with all accessories. The success of guided educational programmes, is not solely dependent on the quality of the education and the teachers and management. Importantly, academic success depends the provision of the right learning environment, within the sanctity of a school. It is through this, that students feel the confidence and comfort that our processes include access to appropriate modern technologies, incorporating access to various technological aids, that assist in the learning process. And that these technological aids are the latest and most modern. We are very certain, that securing such an environment for the students, contributes enormously in the growth of students and their ability to achieve higher productivity and levels of excellence. Based on this view, your generous donation has gone a long way in fulfilling this desired goal. It will also play a key role in resolving many of the operational and practical difficulties, encountered by administrators, teachers, pupils and parents. We reiterate our thanks and send you our assurances that we will remain steadfast in delivering the vision that the founders of the school have had for the School. We wish you good health and longevity so that you may remain an example of love and giving.

“On behalf of BHS School Committee, I would like to thank you and your beloved family ( Afif Geha Family) for your aid to BHS and BHS students.

Thanks God, the school (BHS) is in good shape thanks to its staff and friends who helped a lot in keeping the school where it is now. Thanks a lot for you hisham, for Akram for your mom and for Tante Korine because you are always with us, keeping the school always in your mind and helping whenever you feel help is needed. With your last generous contribution we were able to help 36 needy families ( Names were chosen by Tante Korine and Madam Mona Geha with the help of the school admin.) in paying the tuition fees of their children. This is a big number never done before, from the date I was member of BHS School Committee (2003).”

“Due to the harsh economic crisis that Lebanon is facing, the parents of many students, including mine, are struggling to provide the tuition fees that schools demand. Although the fees paid at BHS are less compared to other schools, my parents were still stressed to afford it. However, I am now registered at my school, all because of your generous donation. I want to express my sincere gratitude to the Sheikh Jabbour Geha family for their help. It is your push that has enabled me to achieve my dream of graduating from the school with my friends who I can call family with no hesitation. Also, I want to thank you for creating a role model image to me. I give you a pledge that after graduating university and getting my first job, I’m going to take the same initiative to help BHS students in their pursuit to fulfill their dreams.”

“My Name is Akel Chikhani, and I live in Bdi El Koura. I am a Bishmizzine High School Student who in Grade 12 S.E. I am honored to get this opportunity to continue my education and to promote myself into higher standards. My family and I are very thankful for your contribution, and we wish you all the best.”

“My Name is Jessy Moufarrij and I'm in Grade 10 at Bishmizzine High School. I would like to thank you for your benevolent donation. My dream is to become a Civil Engineer and benefit my community in the best way possible. You have become my role model since you are helping other students to reach their goals without anything in return. Thank you!”

“I am writing to express my sincere gratitude to you for financial support that you have granted me. My name is Naim. I am an eleventh grader, who plan to pursue a degree in photography later on. Thanks to you, I am one step closer to that. By offering me this financial aid, you have lightened financial burden which allows me to focus more on the important aspect of school; Learning your generosity has inspired me to help others and give back to the community. I hope one day I will help other students to achieve their goals just as you have helped me.

Once again, thank you for your support.”
