The Nicolas Sursock Museum located in Beirut, Lebanon is one of the most beautiful Lebanese mansions still standing from 1912 to date. It opened its doors as a museum in 1961, and was then closed for renovation in 2008. Seven years of renovation & $15 Million later, Sursock Museum will reopen on October 9, 2015.

When it opened as a museum in 1961, the mansion housed exhibitions from artists in the Middle East and around the world, as well as the prestigious Salon d’Automne for local figures. It continued in this capacity through the civil war until its closure in 2007, with a brief pause for renovations in the 70s. It focused on paintings, showing the work of Lebanese artists Chafic Abboud, Paul Guiragossian, Saloua Raouda Choucair and Aref Rayess, as well as international artists. Several rooms, including an oriental-style salon, were kept as Sursock left them.

To support women entrepreneurs, a program known as HADAFI (meaning: my goal in Arabic) was created back in 2013. It emerged from Saudi Arabia and is designed to support passionate women from all over the region.

If you are a woman or know one who has an idea or a passion and you wish to develop it further into a business, then this free program is for you! You can register now for free.

Whether it is a new innovative idea or an established business that is less than two years old, Hadafi will train and support participants in various entrepreneurial disciplines, and help them develop and implement a business plan.

You can then also seriously consider buying a business with the help of a broker in another area, as it’s just great buying a business that is already making great money. So if you fancy a move then seriously look into this, I know someone that bought a business in Sarasota (Florida) using https://trufortebusinessgroup.com/sarasota-businesses-for-sale/ and it’s worked out wonderfully, so is something a lot of people should consider when starting a business.

Nowadays, most of the businesses are using valuable tools and resources similar to these compare card machines to streamline operations and enhance customer experiences.

When it comes to Human Resource Outsourcing Services, you need to make sure that you find the right partner for your business, and the highly experienced outsourced HR service provider similar to this outsourcing human resources UK is always here to help.

Over the past 2 years the program has expanded into the MENA region and gained massive attraction. Hadafi is now launching season 5.

With Hadafi, it is not just about presenting your idea, the aim of the program is providing women entrepreneurs with the knowledge, insight, and skills they need to succeed.

The program’s strategic partner in Kuwait is the Ministry of Youth. Hadafi’s community partners are Gulf University for Science and Technology, Manpower & Government Restructuring Program, Embassy of the United States in Kuwait , Kuwait Public Relations Association, City Pages, Kuwait Today, NIU, Business and Professional Women Council.
