Sunday saw the opening of “Khayrat wa Maharat” fair for traditional mouneh and agricultural and artisan products in Nabatiyeh under the patronage of mayor Hassan Fakih and the presence of Hizbullah member, Safa Safa. Fakih underlined the importance of the expo in strengthening the national economy and encouraging farmers to stay steadfast in their land with the aim to revive traditions and heritage, inspire local women to be productive and sell the products directly to consumers. For his part, Ahmad Olleik, director of the expo, said similar exhibitions contribute to the development of rural areas amid the current economic crisis. While Safa noted that the event cleverly blends the southern taste of mouneh with creative craftsmanship, giving a glimmer of hope in these difficult times.
