German Ambassador Visit
May 2019
The
newly appointed German Ambassador in Beirut, Dr. Georg Birgelen, visited
Schneller School on Friday 31 May 2019.
He was accompanied with his wife, Sybille, and the pastor of the German
Church in Beirut, Rev. Jürgen Henning.
The director showed the ambassador and his accompanying guests around
the school. He informed them about the various programs that JLSS runs
for underprivileged children regardless of gender, race, and religion.
He expressed his gratitude for the kind support Schneller School
received from the German Embassy in Beirut and the special friendship to
JLSS, through successive ambassadors.
He expressed his most sincere gratitude to the German churches and
people, who through the JLSS partner EVS/EMS, make the wonderful
charitable work to disadvantaged children possible. Their continued and
committed support enables Schneller School to fulfill its special
mission to the poor and needy in our region.
The ambassador, his wife, and Rev. Henning were invited for lunch with
the director and his wife kindly prepared by the wonderful JLSS kitchen
staff.
We express our thanks to Ambassador Birgelen, his wife Sybille, and Rev.
Henning for their wonderful visit.
