Please post the few pages of this brochure about the estimation cost of finishing one "working floor" of Block C in the project of "Baytna" prepared by Mr. George Moujaes (Architect and Contractor).

We look for the help that Shweirieh and friends will put soon to make this project work before Christmas, for the benefit of our Elderly.

Upon your request and for everyone to know, please post the att. list on our web where ever you like.
Att. the list of official "Fee schedule and services" at Baytna.
As you know, "Baytna", "our home", is the place that we found for our elderly to have the best available "family touch and treatment" they might think of, to spend their best days at this age. I am not going to talk about Baytna but I wish other do. I am sure plenty of you visited the place or have someone in it or have heard about it.

Baytna now is in a rented building. We are working very hard to build our own beautiful place where we planed to have the most suitable, equipped project :The Medical and Social Center (Baytna). We expect to see many Shweirieh and friends, here and all over, put their hands with ours and help, in every way possible to make this dream comes true.

Best regards

Subject: ON THE ROCKS OF MAR ELIAS _ BAYTNA

On the rocks of Mar Elias and with Mar Elias blessings the "Medical and Social Center (Baytna)" started rising up and concrete works can be seen from far. The foundation stone for the new Center was laid down and planted in the hard rocks near Dar Mar Elias by the hands of Patriarch Hazeem, represented by Archbishop Najim, on the 27th of July, 2003. Since then the work started with the little money the Rescue and Social Services Association-Shweir (Is3af) has and will go on with the money ... WE ... are going to invest or donate.

Faith in God, self confidence and the love our Shweirieh and friends has for charity work and helping each other, were the main reasons that made Is3af group go into such a great heavy project. The need for a hospital and a senior center in Shweir and the neighborhood is essential. It was the dream of our ancestors for a long long time. The towns and villages in the high Maten has no such project where the citizens are in bad need for it especially in winter. During the bad war days in Lebanon we learned hard lessons about surviving.

We always speak and ask for projects that can help people to stay in our villages and not leave. At the same time we need projects that can create job opportunities for our young. Many times we discussed this on shweir.com and in every meeting we had for different occasions. Now we say "Baytna" is a project that will help in solving many problems.

When "Is3af" and "Akhawiyat Sayidat Al Beshara" started "mini Baytna" in May 2002, there was many questions on the use and profit of such a project. After two years and more we found out that the project that started from zero is using three floors in the building and is helping, an average of, fourteen senior resident served by almost the same number of staff plus the volunteer ladies.

Doctors, nurses, technicians, administrators, clerks, ets are all needed to run such big project. Think of how many Shweirieh and neighbors will gain jobs and will think more than twice before leaving their beloved town. Think of how many patients and seniors will gain health and help, in our healthy climate, by the white hands and love of our ladies and gentlemen and with the blessing of Mar Elias.

The "Medical and Social Center (Baytna)" will stand high near Dar Mar Elias with your help and support. Work has started and we all will finish it.One Block (Block C) will be used soon after finished as hospital for patients in part of it and in the other part as elderly rest house. More blocks will rise until the whole project is finished.

I am sending you few pictures and some information. For more details and to answer your questions and quires please call "Rescue and Social Services Association-Shweir" tel: 03/272946 Mr. Elie Korban or "Baytna" tel: 04/391541, 03/325773 or you can email me at rk26 @ aub.edu.lb Please feel free to ask. "Baytna" needs your support.
