To honor Wadi’ El Safi Green Day on
November 1st, the first graders in Ain
Aar decided to take action in his memory.
Each student chose a plant, learned how
to take care of it, and took it home to a
balcony or garden.
On that day, the great singer went
aboard an army helicopter and flew over
Lebanon, landing in many Lebanese vil-
lages and planting cedar, pine, olive and
oak trees. Since then, this yearly tradition
has continued and the number of trees
planted has reached one million.
