Trained counselors, university sports administrators, and other dedicated leaders from AUB’s Office of Student Affairs (OSA) are coming together to implement a series of direct support activities to assist those affected by the Beirut blast. They set up a tent in the Mar Mikhael neighborhood, a neighborhood that sustained enormous damage during the August 4 explosion, where they are working closely with volunteers to provide counseling to community members – including frontline rescue heroes. Another group identified as needing urgent support is children who have been traumatized by recent events with a major increase in reported cases of night terror. Donations to the AUB OSA Community Support Fund will be used to pay for supplies to facilitate the volunteers’ work and for mobile (off-campus) wellness activities. Funds will also be used to pay for toys and items for children that would help recreate a sense of security and restore trust and laughter.
