    In line with its extra-curricular activities undertaken throughout the year and for the sixth year running, the Lebanese German University organized its 2013 Christmas event at LGU Campus on December 19, 2013. Over 120 children aged 5 to 10 were invited to celebrate the occasion. The children came from two regional boarding schools to take part in the different activities prepared for them by the administrative staff and LGU students. The event started with a historical account of the nativity related by Father Johnny Rahi in a slide show. The children then spent over four hours enjoying Christmas songs, doing some face painting, and playing various games prepared for them by LGU staff and students before welcoming Father Santa for gift distribution. They also enjoyed their lunch and the pictures taken with Santa Claus. LGU administration and staff were later congratulated on the success of the event and also praised for making Christmas an occasion to instill a spirit of compassion among its students towards the less fortunate.

Dr. Michel D. Landry is a Professor in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery and in Duke Global Health Institute (DGHI) at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina (USA). Prior to his current position, Dr. Landry spent seven years as Division Chief of the Duke Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) Division where he successfully implemented an upgrade of the program that has now grown into one of the top physical therapy programs in the United States. Prior to receiving his doctoral degree, he held clinical and senior management positions within the private rehabilitation sector in Ontario (Canada), and within international humanitarian aid and development agencies. Dr. Landry is a health policy and services researcher, and his area of study is the policy implications of the gap between available supply (financial and human resources) and increasing demand for rehabilitation and health services across the continuum of care. He is a Past-President of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association and a former Career Scientist at the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC). He lectures widely on policy and the political dynamics of rehabilitation, implications on people with disabilities, and is a provocative advocate for the moral, ethical, and economic necessity to ensure accessible and affordable rehabilitation services across the continuum of high, middle, and low-income countries. Dr. Landry is currently completing his Executive Master’s of Business Administration (MBA) at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business, where he is also participating in the Health Sector Management Certificate (HSM).
