The Daily Star shines on GAM3

Things are looking bright for the start up of the GAM3 Season in The Middle East. A little more than a week ago the only English written newspaper in Lebanon - The Daily Star - could report that the long deadlock in Lebanese politics are now easing up. Here on the GAM3 Team we were getting a bit worried after the break out of street violence at the end of January this year in Beirut. But with the milder political winds the tense situation now seems to be evaporating with the coming of the spring.

Readers of the Daily Star this weekend (and blog readers like you) had the chance of getting an insight to what the GAM3 project will bring to the kids of Beirut. In the article you can read the following statements:

"We want to open up the opportunity for people who wouldn't be able to [play basketball] through the help of their parents or school" Mac McClenahan (GAM3 Project Manager, Beiut)

"That's the important thing for me. They're [Palestinian kids] going to go outside the camp and meet Lebanese kids. If you want to have a good Lebanon, you have to have good relations." Ahmed Iskandar (Leader of Palestinian Boy Scout Organization)
