GREENERY, LEISURE, AND MEDICAL FOLLOW UP AT 'LONGUE VIE', LIFE STARTS AT 60 YEARS OLD…
A little lady, a bonnet on her head, a cane in her hand is strolling in the mid day sun. Inside, three other grannies comfortably seated in the lounge, dressed, pampered, and very elegant are having a little chat. An elderly couple, arm in arm are getting ready to join the group. In a corner, two ladies are playing cards; one of them has a child whistle that she blows every time she wins. In the hall that leads to the rooms and studios we come across M. Charles, a young gentleman of some 93 years old, in his running outfit holding his weights, he is just back from his daily brisk walk.(…) One can hear the singing voice of a resident accompanied by a piano player. Who ever said that being senior is sad?

Longue Vie is celebrating its 10th anniversary. For the occasion the managing team has organized a diner on July 25th during which elders listened to records that the director was able to uncover. Some showed their musical talents, one person played the mandolin, another sang in Turkish and everyone danced. A special firework closed the evening.

Nevertheless, there are quite a number of dedicated persons who have not forgotten Lebanon, and they increase their activities in order to help their brothers.
