Remember the story I shared a week ago about the old man selling books under a bridge? It appears that someone has set fire to his small kiosk and burned all his books.
I don’t know what evil mind would do that, but I’m trying to figure out how we could help the old man find a proper shelter and maybe get him back a small kiosk to sell his books. I will post updated whenever available.
PS: Someone tell the Minister of Culture he doesn’t need more books right now, but a shelter instead.
يعيش تحت جسر الفيات في بيروت في تشرد وقهر ومعه مئات ومئات الكتب يجمعها ويقرأها ويبنيها كمنزل لعله يشعر بالدفء.. قام مجهولون باحراق الكتب برمتها واحراق بقعته الوحيدة حيث يعيش في العراء .. من اين لهم كل هذه الاذية وكل هذا الكره ؟.. الا يكفي هذا الرجل مأساة وقهر وتشرد ؟.. لبنان pic.twitter.com/nZ8Jj4rjZp
