<\/p>\nThe Lebanese community in Ghana has awarded scholarships to 19 wards of martyrs of the Ghana Armed Forces.<\/p>\n
The programme, in its third year, is one of the initiatives that the Lebanese community is running to help promote education in Ghana.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the ceremony, the Lebanese ambassador to Ghana, Ali H. Halabi, acknowledged the contribution of Ghanaian soldiers in peacekeeping efforts across the world.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026for the Lebanese community, the contributions of Ghana\u2019s Armed Forces to domestic and world security is an emotional affair. We fondly recall the efforts of Ghana\u2019s peacekeeping mission to Lebanon and the sacrifices made there. They are the symbols of the decades of strong and enduring bonds between the peoples of Ghana and Lebanon. Today, we acknowledge that, it is the selfless contributions of these men and women of the Armed Forces that have established a solid security architecture under which different people in this great nation could live together peacefully\u2026,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026By this action, we hope to contribute to the future of these children who are spread across all the levels of Ghana\u2019s education system.\u201d<\/p>\n
This is the third year that the Lebanese community in Ghana has awarded scholarships to the dependents of matyrs.<\/p>\n
