Winter returns, and neglect floods the roads
Every rainy season, the same scenes return: flooded roads and tunnels, stalled cars, damaged shops, and hours in traffic, amid failing infrastructure and yearly promises.
They have even stolen the poetry of rain
Wet earth, umbrellas, and cafés overlooking rainy streets make winter worth waiting for. In Lebanon, clouds bring worry about children at school, getting home safely, and flooded cars.
Give us back the joy of winter
To welcome rain, breathe in its scent, and enjoy its sound knowing our loved ones are safe. To reclaim the joy neglect has stolen and fill winter with memories instead of fear. The Lebanese are tired of paying for neglect, even in life’s most beautiful moments.
