The remaining wiser members — yours truly included — opted to reach the desert camp using a less stomach-churning and limb-jerking route. Needless to say that the desert landscape set against the sunset was another enchanting scene to appreciate. Having finally reached our destination in one piece, we settled down to another pleasant evening of food and entertainment. The Oriental barbecue at the camp could not compare with previous meals but was quite good by desert standards. The entertainment, which included a skirted twirling dervish, and a talented and voluptuous belly-dancer, provided a suitably enjoyable finale to the lively weekend.

  • Corporate Social Responsibility
    corporate social responsibility ONRECYCLED 100% PAPER. annual ED T AS PRIN report W T 2011 THIS BOOKLE 2 3 CSR is adopting a balanced approach to economic, environmental and social issues nowadays, in such a way as to be beneficial to citizens, communities and society as a whole, going beyond simple observation of the law and voluntarily making the results of such activities public to maintain accountability. With its ever avant-garde spirit, Bank Audi was the first Lebanese institution to set up a separate CSR unit as of April 2010. The establishment of this unit falls within Bank Audi’s permanent commitment to social, environmental and human well-being, which represents an integral part of the Bank’s core strategy and objectives revolving around Transparency, Human Capital, Heritage, Quality, Civic Role and Innovation. For a bank like Bank Audi, with a significant economic dimension mirrored by a ratio of domestic assets to GDP exceeding 50%, and being the largest local bank in terms of financing the economy, the largest private contributor to GDP formation, the largest tax payer and the largest employer in the Lebanese private sector, commitment to the civic society and to the environment clearly imposes itself. The feedback from various achievements has proven Bank Audi’s initiative to be a necessity and a success: primary beneficiaries and various stakeholders recognise it and value the Bank for its perception and adoption of Corporate Responsibility. Over and above, CSR campaigns promoted by the Bank have echoed with an outright positive response from customers and shareholders. Always aiming at “Growing Beyond Our Potential” as a method of life entrenched in the way we work and live and in reflection of our Management’s attitude towards integrity and high ethical values, Bank Audi plays a major role, beyond banking, in developing communities through a large deal of active participation, partnerships and community support programs.

  • Archives This Page Lists the Approximately 1,900 Archival Items
    Archives This page lists the approximately 1,900 archival items that are held by the N.E.S.T. Special Collections. The majority of these items are from the Syria Mission of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM), and later of the Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. (PCUSA), as well as affiliated institutions, such as the American Mission Press, the Chouir Conference Center, the Gerard Institution, the Anglo-American Church and N.E.S.T. itself. Items range from personal diaries of missionaries, correspondences, institutional records, brochures, school yearbooks, newspapers, pamphlets and stamps. Photographs and maps are listed in separate indexes due to their size, location in the Special Collection Room and descriptive details. The archives of the Syria Mission were originally organized by missionary James Willoughby in 1966, the index of which is archival item 432. Willoughby's arrangement was not preserved during the transference of the N.E.S.T. library to its location on Ras Beirut in 1974. As such, in 2012 a project was initiated under the title Preserving Protestant Heritage in the Middle East (PPHME) with the aim of reorganizing N.E.S.T.’s Special Collections. During the first phase of the PPHME the archival items were indexed according to the order that they were found. As a result, only some items are grouped according to affiliated organization. Part of the next phase of the PPHME project is to organize the archival material into subject areas. As such, each archival item is given a temporary inventory number (as opposed to a more permanent shelf mark).
