The E-Caravan became another casualty of the hostilities that
gripped Lebanon for more than thirty days. The Mobile Computer
School was struck down by Israeli missiles in the southern border
village of Ayta al-Shaab where it was delivering IT training
courses since May. News of the E-Caravan’s destruction was
conveyed by the Mayor of Ayta al-Shaab. The E-Caravan had been
stranded in the village since the beginning of the conflict on
July 12, 2006.
Fondation Saradar immediately expressed its gratitude to the many
partners who had generously helped in building and furnishing the
mobile school. In parallel, UNESCWA and Fondation Saradar decided
to jointly pursue and document the case.
However, despite all the tragic events Lebanon is facing,
Fondation Saradar would like to reaffirm its commitment to pursue
its human development mission throughout the country and to
contribute - even modestly- to the emergence of a knowledge
society in Lebanon.
Fondation Saradar is committed to reactivate the E-Caravan project
in South Lebanon in the very near future.
