A delegation from JOA, including its chairwoman Deputy Carolyn Labey and director Simon Boas, visited Lebanon and inspected eight Jersey-funded activities in Beirut and the Bekaa Valley, including schools, training centres, counselling sessions, water trucking and a clinic.
During their visit the party met specialists from Unicef in education, child protection, water, health and sanitation, and held interviews and focus groups with women and adolescents who had benefited from different projects.
They also interviewed staff from numerous local and international organisations, including Mercy Corps, Oxfam, Caritas and the Knights of Malta.
