NEWSLETTER



“WAW”, the Arabic term for “and”, is LPHU newsletter and its name meant to make a connection between you and us, so that we cease to be apart and so that the gap between us, the disabled, and you, the able-bodied members of society, is removed.

We have been marginalized for a long time, barely communicating with society until we chose to meet with each other.

Yes, “WAW” was our choice. We want “WAW” to highlight our about our situation, to inform people about a section of society which has until recently been forgotten or ignored. We want to show you a group of people who are seeking your support, a group whom with your support will want to show their potential to contribute to the building of society. “WAW” is a scream that has chocked throats for a long time before it was able to echo throughout.

"WAW" that reflects the experiences and views of the Lebanese Physical Handicapped Union established in 1981. It is also an invitation to those who want to work in order to attain the rights of the disabled. We wish "WAW" to make our dream come true, the dream of many people, a dream that tells the story of a complete society with the effort of its individuals…
