“Happy Together” for Cancer Patients

21 Aug 2018

Happy together is love for the children and their mothers.

Their love brought us together, their smiles made us happy, and this gathering warms our hearts.

Sela created an atmosphere of fun and happiness through its “Happy Together” annual project and invited 5,000 people, including children, women to a festival with a variety of safe games, parade circus, and entertaining segments, under the patronage of Saida’s Eng. Muhammad Al-Saudi. People joined the festival on the second, third, and fourth days of Eid at Eng. Mohammed Saudi’s garden. Seven thousand people participated in the festival coming from different Lebanese regions.

Sela organized a musical concert by Noun Channel Band for the second year in a row, on Wednesday, August 22, on the second day of Adha Eid, at Eng. Muhammad al-Saudi garden in Saida, southern Lebanon.

“Happy Together” festival started under the patronage of the Mayor of Saida, Eng. Muhammad Al-Saudi, Family Clinic, Sawt El Shaab Radio, Al-Fajr Radio, and in the presence of the representative of the Minister of State for Women Affairs, Mrs. Randa Yassir, and many other officials. The celebration included musical performances played by Omar Al-Saidi, Muhammad Bashar, Lyn Al-Saidi and Maya Al-Saidi. They cheered the attendees with their voices as they sang for childhood and hope. The profits gained are donations to support cancer patients under the slogan “A Smile on Their Faces Eases the Pain.”

Sela aims to help cancer patients and support them financially and morally.

In his speech during the festival, Dr. Malik Baasiri, a specialist in pediatrics, cancer, and blood, said that after conducting an in-depth study, they found that Lebanon is one of the most affected Arab countries by cancer. Besides, cancer patients need attention, care and follow-up. He also thanked Sela for organizing such activities.

The festival also included dance performances by kids wearing beautiful costumes designed and manufactured by Khoyout Factory.

Happy Together Project is an opening for new social entertainment projects, especially amid the difficult economic and social situation. Women and children are gradually losing their smiles and feeling blue. Therefore, we created the Happy Together musical concert to cheer them and offer games, circuses, and entertainment at affordable prices. Sela concluded through Happy Together that women and children need psychological support and festive activities.

Finally, Sela presented a video about Happy Together 2017 Concert to explain to the audience that their tickets help provide medical and financial aid to cancer patients in all Lebanese regions.
