A HOME AWAY FROM HOME THE NURSES’ HOME; PROPERTY OF THE NURSES’ CHAPTER OF THE AUB ALUMNI ASSOCIATION.
A BRIEF OVERVIEW H.El-Sabban
THE OBJECTIVES THE FOUNDERS INTENDED IT TO BE: • A RESIDENCE CENTER FOR RETIRED NURSES. • A MOTIVE TO ATTRACT MORE STUDENTS AND UPGRADE THEIR STANDARD. • A HOME AWAY FROM HOME FOR VISITING & GUEST NURSES. H.El-Sabban
ESTABLISHMENT • 1955 Mrs. Sara George Shahla Launched a Fund Raising Campaign (National & Intern’l). • This Campaign Lasted for 4 Years. • USA Share was the biggest. • A Piece of Land was purchased in Sabtiyeh. • The “Nurses Home” Finally Saw the Light, Thanks to all Who Made it Possible. H.El-Sabban
LOCATION H.El-Sabban
SOME KEY FIGURES • AREA OF LAND IS 2356 SQM. • AREA OF THE HOUSE IS 554 SQM. • IT IS A TWO STORY VILLA-LIKE DESIGN WITH A LOVELY SEA VIEW. • THE NON BUILT PART OF THE LAND IS QUITE LARGE AND IS PLANTED WITH FRUITY TREES AND PINE. IT SOUNDS GREAT ISN’T IT???? H.El-Sabban
Facts • FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD OF TIME THE NURSES HOME HAS BEEN SUBJECTED TO DEVASTATING SEQUENCE OF EVENTS. • TWO DECADES OF CIVIL WAR ARE ENOUGH TO CAUSE DIRECT AND INDIRECT DAMAGE TO ALMOST EVERYTHING IN LEBANON AND “OUR” HOME IS NO EXCEPTION. H.El-Sabban
CONSEQUENCES DIRECT SHELLING AND PHYSICAL DAMAGE. H.El-Sabban
CONSEQUENCES CONT’D OCCUPATION BY DISPLACED PEOPLE H.El-Sabban
END RESULT THE OUTCOME OF THESE TWO FACTS RENDERED THE NURSES HOME NOT SUITABLE FOR ITS ORIGINAL PURPOSE OR ANY OTHER PURPOSE. ENJOY THE TOUR! H.El-Sabban
