Prior to the Marathon, a press conference was held at our partner school, St George. Everyone agreed that it was a very important occasion for reaching thousands of people in Lebanon, as the campaign was very vibrant on the social media sites Twitter and Facebook. UNEP’s Goodwill Ambassador for the Arab Region, Ragheb Alama, who is a Lebanese Celebrity and has been the ambassador for students with learning difficulties since 2013, tweeted to his 4.9 million followers how ‘super excited’ he was to be supporting the SKILD Center and the Youth Marathon.
