I have a very happy memory of my childhood, playing in my backyard, climbing trees to pluck fruits, going to parks and beaches and enjoying life in general.

Describe your childhood when you were growing up from 8 to 13 years old.

Childhood memories are special for everyone. I have a very happy memory of my childhood and always reminisce it with nostalgia. I was born and brought up in a family which included my mother, father, and my 4 sisters. I have very fond memories of us sisters playing in our backyard, climbing trees to pluck fruits, going to parks and beaches and enjoying life in general. My father was a government servant and my mother a housewife. Of all the memories, one particular memory is very important and it taught me the importance of saving money.

What lessons did you learn from your childhood/growing years?

One summer, my sister was suddenly taken ill. She had to be hospitalized and the doctors advised us that she needed an emergency surgery. The surgery was very costly. My father did not earn a very high salary and it was very difficult for us to raise that amount of money suddenly. Luckily, my father and mother had a habit of saving small amount of money regularly. This money was not touched but kept aside in case of emergencies. This amount turned out to be the exact amount required for the surgery and recuperation of my sister.

I started to save even a little bit from my pocket money. I took to heart the saying, "Little drops of water makes the mighty ocean." Till today, I save money in whatever way I can. My parents have impressed upon us children the importance of saving money and so I do the same.

We were helped by the good habit of saving practiced by my parents. Before this incident, I was a spendthrift and use to spend all of my pocket money.

What makes you proud of your country?

I am Lebanese and Proud.

We are the peaceful warriors, the patriots of the land and we don't need lightning to make diamonds from sand. We have each other and a place to be safe and gloriously free.

While you have a chance, we should love each other more and try enjoying life because it is enjoyable for sure.

What is your environmental advocacy?

Support education, animal rights, production of electric vehicles, care of oceans and rivers.

Miss Lebanon Overseas 2010

FURN AL-SHUBBAK: While Brazil missed out on World Cup 2010 this month, it did pick up another international win, in the Miss Lebanon Overseas contest.

Two diaspora organizations, the Lebanese World Committee and the World Lebanese Cultural Union (WLCU), joined forces this year to add the beauty pageant to the agenda of an annual tour of the motherland by Lebanese from the diaspora.

An 18-year old Brazilian, Taunay Abou Rejaili, was crowned queen at the pageant held at Dbayyeh’s Le Royal Hotel on July 13.

Fady Bou-Dagher, the president of the Lebanese World Committee, said that 510 members of the diaspora took advantage of this year’s ten-day tour of the country, which covered the major historical and touristic sites.

Joining the tour were 20 young women who participated in the Miss Lebanon Overseas competition, previously known as “Miss Lebanon Emigrant.”

This year’s contestants, selected by the WLCU, came from the typical outposts of the Lebanese diaspora, representing Brazil, Mexico and Australia, as well as some less-familiar names like Mali, Denmark, the US state of Nevada and Canada’s British Columbia.

It was the first visit to Lebanon for Abou Rejaili, whose grandfather left the village of Kfar Zabad in the Bekaa for Brazil. Her father was born in Brazil but the entire family moved back to Lebanon in 1970, and returned to Brazil in 1975, with the outbreak of the Civil War.

A speaker of Portuguese and Spanish, Abou Rejaili needed a translator to tell a news conference at Furn al-Shubbak’s Press Club on Monday that she now had a new goal, namely to learn Arabic.

The winners of diaspora beauty pageants often don’t speak Arabic, according to Tony Kadessi of the WLCU, who performed the translation duties at the news conference, but are usually able to get by with broken Arabic. Kadessi spoke of the need to encourage Lebanese in the diaspora to learn the language of their ancestors.Abou Rejaili said she enjoyed experiencing the scenery of Lebanon, and was surprised by the energy of the nightlife and cultural scene.

Mervit Chmait, 21, a student at Ryerson University in Toronto, represented Ottawa at the pageant, and is a regular summer visitor to Lebanon.

“The festival was such a great experience, even though there was only one winner,” she said, “and everyone benefited from the experience and gained a knowledge of Lebanon.”

The summer tour is sponsored by the Tourism Ministry to promote ties between the diaspora and Lebanon.

Bou-Dagher thanked an array of local governmental, religious, and private institutions who he said facilitated the “Expatriate Festival,” as it’s officially called.

Bou-Dagher also announced the launch of “The Global Lebanese Network,” which can be found at www.lebanese-emigrants.net. Membership on this website is free and is intended to provide members with “benefits from services, priorities and privileges offered by Lebanese-owned businesses” which are supposed to be offered at a “symbolic price to facilitate interaction and support between Lebanese.”

Alongside efforts to promote language instructions and summer visits to Lebanon, Kadessi said diaspora groups are also encouraging Lebanese living abroad to re-establish links with the homeland by obtaining Lebanese ID cards.
