Over the past few months, since the launch of Aradeek, we have been searching for an organization that plants trees in Lebanon- specifically the cedar tree. We felt this particular tree deserved our help more than any other plant life in the country. The cedars are in fact part of our national heritage, a source of pride and a tribute to our endurance. Not to mention that aesthetically, they are an unrivaled tree. We were confident that beginning our efforts with the cedar tree would allow us the most success.
At the outset, we found ourselves bullish and hopeful, naively assuming that there are countless ways to support our environment, especially the cedars. We scoured the web in hopes of locating a group, a team, an organization, any entity that would allow us to easily make a donation to plant these trees in our homeland.
Much to our dismay, we were left utterly disappointed.
Like many other fruitless searches for services we were sure to find in Lebanon, locating an organization that supports our environment, specifically our national icon, was ultimately a failure.
Although there are several Facebook causes, groups and Lebanese organizations that serve to offer great awareness for our environment, there lacks an entity that serves to actually make an impact. This discovery encouraged all of us at Aradeek to fill that void.
Aradeek is currently in the early stages of creating a nonprofit organization that will simplify the process of protecting and preserving our environment. This organization will allow any persons to make a simple donation and effectively plant a tree… beginning, of course, with our precious cedar.
If you’d like to join this organization or if you have any suggestions, please email us at support@aradeek.com
