Author visit to Grand Lycée Franco-Libanais in Beirut, Lebanon, September 16, 2022

Hiba visited the Grand Lycée Franco-Libanais (Beirut, Lebanon) on September 16, 2022. She read I Feel Better Now to 180 fifth Graders (CM2), introducing yoga and mindfulness and the benefits of these practices to the students. They practiced yoga while reading / Feel Better Now engaged in mindfulness activities, and the children asked a lot of candid and pertinent questions. The citizens of Lebanon have been going through extreme hardships with the economic collapse since 2019, and the suffering could be felt through the questions of nine and ten-year-olds. It was a great day full of good energy and curiosity for all, students and teachers alike! Pictured below is Hiba with the students, and Hiba with Mrs. Katia, 5th Grade English Teacher, one amazing human being.
