The Friends of Lebanon association is launching a Christmas fundraiser for Lebanese children – Since the explosion on August 4, 2020, Lebanon has struggled to rebuild itself. The Monegasque association Les Amis du Liban is therefore working harder than ever to help the population. The association even decided to create an online fundraiser, so that Lebanese children can enjoy Christmas. More than 1,000 euros have already been collected, out of the target 3,000  euros.

A solidarity and responsible toy drive in the Principality – On Sunday, December 12, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., the Place d’Armes will host a toy drive.  The toys collected will be redistributed by the Soleil Royal 06 charity to families in the disaster-stricken la Roya valley villages, during the Christmas holidays.
