Lebanese woman television anchor with special needs enters the Guinness Book

Young Dalia Freifer who lost her eyesight at the age of 18 years after being exposed to a problem in the retina, was able to enter the Guinness Book of Records for the longest television broadcast for 24 hours by ‘Tele Liban’ the Lebanese official television station, where she hosted more than 70 personalities. Freifer kicked off the challenge at 8:00 am last Saturday morning, and ended yesterday morning.  She  hosted during the marathon live broadcast guests from various sectors including intellectuals, cultural, media and arts specialists.  Freifer conducted a series of interviews, without exceeding 15 minutes for each interview, according to the requirements of the Guinness Book of Records. Freifer considered that this adventure was a challenge for herself, and a representation of a humanitarian message to urge people to pay attention to persons with special needs, and provide them rights and livelihoods in Lebanon.
