Last night, the Rotary Club of Lebanon International (RCLI) celebrated a truly memorable Handover Ceremony, marking the transition from Vice President Nagi Sfeir to President Maroun Najjar for Rotary Year 2026–2027.

The evening was filled with friendship, love, and optimism, setting the tone for a year dedicated to Service Above Self. In his address, President Maroun emphasized that our focus this year is not on doing more, but on doing less, doing it right, and creating meaningful impact fully aligned with the Rotary International President’s inspiring message: “Create Lasting Impact.”

We were honored by the presence of our District Governor, May Monla Chmaitilly, our Assistant Governor, Imad Melhem, and many wonderful Rotarians from our club and fellow clubs across Lebanon.

Together, we look forward to a year of purpose, collaboration, and lasting impact. 💙💛

Who is actually listening to Lebanon’s youth? 🇱🇧

It’s a pressing reality: young people in our country are rarely consulted on the decisions that dictate their lives. With more and more feeling unheard or choosing to leave, the Rotary Club of Lebanon International decided to change the narrative.

President Nagi Sfeir opened the « Listening for Peace » roundtable at Le Gabriel Hotel, turning a traditional conference into an open, inclusive dialogue. This wasn’t just talk—it was a strategic deep dive into Positive Peace, moving beyond the simple absence of violence toward a future built on justice and equity.

The Session by the Numbers:

3 Regions represented: Tripoli, Beirut, and Mount Lebanon.

8 Strategic Pillars of Positive Peace used to guide the framework.

3 Visionary RCLI members from Paris and Berlin who sparked the initiative.

1 Goal: Ensuring youth are active partners—not just observers—in shaping our nation.


From school peace clubs to structured volunteering, the ideas were candid, urgent, and necessary. We are committed to continuing this process and expanding it to our diaspora.

The future of Lebanon is being written. It’s time we let the youth hold the pen. 🕊️

Your Voice, Lebanon’s Future 🇱🇧✨

February is a time for Rotarians worldwide to focus on peace—but for Lebanon, peace is more than just a goal; it is a necessity for our future.

Lebanese youth are growing up amid political instability and social fragmentation. While they remain resilient, their voices are rarely included in peacebuilding or media spaces. It is time to change that.

Listening for Peace is a project by the Rotary Club of Lebanon International (RCLI) grounded in the concept of Positive Peace—the presence of justice, inclusion, dignity, and social cohesion. We are creating structured spaces for you to express your fears, hopes, and ideas.

What a truly inspiring evening! We are still energized from our highly successful in-person business meeting held last week at the Warwick Palm Beach Hotel - Beirut.

A massive thank you to our esteemed speaker and member, Ahmad A. Husseini, Endowment & Major Gifts Adviser (Region 25), for his profound and insightful presentation on “The Joy of Giving.” His expertise reminded us all of the power of philanthropic strategy and how we can best UNITE FOR GOOD.

We extend our sincere gratitude to all the co-hosting clubs—The Rotary Clubs of Beirut Cosmopolitan, Aley West, Chouf, and Kesrouan —for their collaboration, and to all the attendees who contributed to such an engaging and professional atmosphere.

The commitment to service and major gifts discussed will undoubtedly propel our collective work forward.

RCLI had the honor of welcoming District Governor Peter Ashdjian for his official visit — a gathering that perfectly embodied Rotary’s spirit of unity and purpose.

Governor Peter led an inspiring discussion on this year’s District Theme: Peacebuilding and Conflict Resolution, reminding us that lasting change begins with dialogue, understanding, and service.

The visit also featured a symbolic flag exchange between Governor Peter and our President Nagi Sfeir, highlighting the shared values and friendship that connect Rotary clubs across the world.

Even as some members joined from abroad — with President Nagi connecting via Zoom — the spirit of fellowship filled every corner of the room and screen alike.

His visit reaffirmed what makes our hybrid, international club so unique: one Rotary family, united in action, wherever we are in the world.
