| Cinderella on the run |
I am waiting for
someone to start a Humans of Beirut site, like its New York counterpart. This girl should feature in it.
She came strutting down Hamra Street, all confident, while her dad was busy on
his cell phone.
On another note, my housekeeper, Aregu Sisay Abata, ran a half marathon
this morning in Jounieh, crossing the finish line of the 21.1 kilometers as the
first woman in 1
hour, 29 minutes and 15 seconds. That’s pretty impressive. No podium place
for her (as this was a Lebanese championship), but it was a good exercise for her
first full marathon, this November 9th in Beirut. She’s been winning
pretty much everything lately (Half
Marathon of Baalbeck and the Beirut 10
K this year)
There is a Humans of Lebanon. https://www.facebook.com/HumansofLebanon It's not quite as compelling as HONY though because it doesn't have the stories behind the photos.
ReplyDeletethere is a Humans of Beirut. but they mostly show the hand/shoe/back of a person instead of his face.
