    Christmas event

    As usually, the traditional Christmas event at LGU is a very special event that all students, staff, and faculty members take part in adding to the occasion joy, fun, and … a beautiful Christmas spirit.

    In line with its social responsibility activities, LGU targeted “Karyat Mariam and other families in need” this Christmas. In fact, we organized an enormous campaign at university to help make this year’s event a very successful one.

    We visited Karyat Mariam on Monday 19 December to help children feel the Christmas spirit. We distributed food provisions and Christmas gifts to 37 children and prepared different activities to entertain the little ones who spent over two hours singing and dancing.

    On Wednesday 21 December, staff and students also visited more than 10 different families and supplied them with food provisions and Christmas logs wishing them the best for the holidays.

    Such activities promote a sense of social awareness among all LGU teams and students towards the environment and the community as a whole and help instill a spirit of compassion towards the less fortunate during this holiday season.

    Joy to the World!!!! (photos attached)

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.
