Allah Yer7am trab jeddak Tanios ya Nabil.  I remember my father telling stories about your grandfather Tanios [Jamil's teacher of Saif & Ters], coming home for months with bruises, but he would say he wouldn't have it any other way, because first he loves the art and second your grandfather was a great teacher with precision and grace...

He loved your grandfather very much, god rest his soul...

Nabil - I am very fond of all your efforts; especially after you pushed Choueir.com into the Social media world; keeping us posted with the latest events, news, and information about our dear village.

Great, great work. I take pride in the active work you are doing and have shown off this facebook group to friends who are not as fortunate to have someone like you in their villages.

And as a side note - I've also shown off our new Ra2is Baladiyyi to my friends - and felt regret for voting against him last Spring.

I do however think that the Choueir.com website itself has a wealth of information that can be portrayed in a better User Interface with a Richer User Experience.

I sincerely hope that I can contribute one day to the Choueir.com community - and until then; please do know that while I remain silent - I remain appreciative of all your efforts.

Hello Nabil,
So wonderful to see this site. My relatives spent the summers there and i had the best times of my life in the 1960's and 70's. The cool mornings and evenings, walking to the plaza, enjoying family and the food WOW!   SO many stories to tell and one of these days, Insha'allah, visit again. There was a restaurant we used to visit that was on a side of a mountain with views like you showed. They used to make eggs w sumac and we would grill meat and have a wonderful meza and day of enjoying the beauty that Choueir offers.
Thank You for doing what you do to show the world the beauty there

While thousands of Choueirieh, Lebanese and fellow Arabs inside Dhour Choueir and around the world have admired the participation of Choeuir.com in the affairs of Dhour Choueir, there has been, unfortunately, a (very) small minority of people in shweir and in America who, out of jealousy, arrogance or sheer ignorance, thought it was ok to badmouth Choueir.com behind our backs.  Everything got back to us!...

Such jealous, childish conduct does not reflect on Choueir.com, it reflects bad on them and their lack of decency and... dignity!....

Dear Nabil,

Thank you so much. The launch event [for the One To One Hotel - Dhour Choueir] was really a great success, the Lebanese Minister of Tourism attended the ceremony and inaugurated the hotel.  It was like a small version of the Emigrants festival in Dhour. I have attached the press release that we designed for the hotel and I would like to request if possible to send it to your database of choueirieh and post it on the website, if you find that to be suitable dear.

My dad passes his regards and his sincere thank you to all your efforts

In honor for your efforts and contribution for the best of our Choueir , the committee decided that your poem will be recited on Sunday the 16th of August 2009 instead of the other previously decided nights because it will have the most exposure since during that specific night we are expecting more than 15000 people. I hope this approves with you
Thank you for all what you have done to make of Choueir a Star.

You are doing a great job keeping us informed of all the latest in our beloved Dhour Choueir.  By the way I was in Dhour about a month ago and I got to tell you, we are very lucky to have such a great mayor. Dhour looked spotless. Cleaning crew everywhere. Flowers are being planted. I know Dhour is on the way to be "Arouse Almasayef" again.

We can already see the positive change in Choueir, so come and enjoy the beautiful summer in your lovely hometown, the walks in the pine woods, the nights in the "seha" among friends and family, breakfast at Sarfad, the the church bells at Sayde on Sundays mixed with the sound of the Ain water... and so many many small pleasures...

جمعت يا والدي بقلبك ويداك البيضاء
حب الوطن بالإيمان وقدرة العطاء
والناس سترى بقلوبهم مدى العناء

جمعت يا والدي بينهم بالكرم والصفاء
ودمعك خير شاهد وأيضا الخدود الحمراء
فلم تكن يوما إلا محبا للخير والوفاء

دمت لنا فخرا فلم نتعلم منك إلا السخاء
ما من أرض خطيت فيها إلا فأصبحت خضراء
... بوركت يداك يا والدي من رب السماء
