“The Georges Bechara Scholarship has allowed me to live one of the most beautiful experiences in my life, a new world opened up for me because it not only gave me the possibility of studying Lebanese dialect, but also knowing Lebanon – a dream for me.-
\nThe classes at USJ (Universit\u00e9 Saint Joseph) were dynamic, innovative and entertaining. The way to teach us dialect was through audios, videos, images, songs and games. They were fast classes, of constant movement, they did not allow you to be silent for a long time, the teacher surprised you with sudden questions, which produces a constant attention and learning that almost did not allow you to think the answer.<\/p>\n
The course serves a lot, I didn’t speak anything, and now I can introduce myself, say what I did or ate the day before, count the numbers, tell the time, professions, fruits, vegetables, etc. After a few weeks it was easier for me to take taxis, check prices, go to the supermarket, situations that are super basic but that the day I arrived in Lebanon, I didn’t know how to do it and I realize that today I can. It is incredibly wonderful!<\/p>\n
In college I always felt at home. Both the principal and the teachers were very kind and worried about us students, they are constantly organizing walks to get to know different places, and also to get to know each other – the students that came from different corners-, and this, they did during the week as weekends.
\nThe Scholarship, filled me with learning and culture, gave me the opportunity to meet new friends and a family that I knew existed and was part of mine. Finding my origins and realizing where I come from is clarifying a part of my story and being able to answer that question after years has been the most beautiful gift.<\/p>\n
If I had to choose a favorite moment of the trip I wonder, what would it be ?, Lebanese classes ?, Friends ?, Places I met ?, Food? know the town of my ancestors? or my family that because of life circumstances was separated? Obviously, these questions have no answer, it is impossible to choose a single moment, because it was certainly a wonderful journey from beginning to end.<\/p>\n
As I said before, the Scholarship for me meant a lot, because it not only allowed me to study dialect, but also allowed me to meet my family and their Hadchit people. Returning after almost 90 years, and meeting nine of my mother’s first cousins \u200b\u200bwas very exciting. I thought at that moment, how happy and proud my sette would be if I knew.<\/p>\n
I always felt a lot of connection with Lebanon before this trip, but on my return that connection multiplied by thousands, it is incredible, I felt Lebanon, my home from the beginning”.<\/p>\n

ESPA\u00d1OL<\/strong><\/p>\n En 2019, el Presidente del Consejo de Administraci\u00f3n de la ULCM, el Sr. Bechara G. Bechara, ofreci\u00f3 una beca completa para un miembro de Am\u00e9rica Latina de la Juventud ULCM para estudiar \u00e1rabe en la Universidad Saint Joseph (USJ) durante todo un mes! La ganadora de la beca, Daniel Mart\u00ednez Sajjur de Chile, ha compartido su experiencia con nosotros!<\/p>\n La buena noticia es que el Sr. Bechara ha ofrecido renovar la beca para 2020! Recuerda estar atento a las redes sociales de la Juventud ULCM<\/a>, as\u00ed como a las redes sociales del Consejo Regional de Hispano Am\u00e9rica y el Caribe <\/a>para obtener m\u00e1s informaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n “La Beca Georges Bechara me ha permitido vivir una de las experiencias m\u00e1s lindas en mi vida, se abri\u00f3 un mundo nuevo para m\u00ed pues no solo me regal\u00f3 la posibilidad\u00a0 de estudiar dialecto liban\u00e9s, sino adem\u00e1s, conocer El L\u00edbano \u2013un sue\u00f1o para m\u00ed.-<\/p>\n Las clases en USJ eran din\u00e1micas, innovadoras y entretenidas. La forma de ense\u00f1arnos dialecto era a trav\u00e9s de audios, videos, im\u00e1genes, canciones y juegos. Eran clases r\u00e1pidas, de constante movimiento, no te permit\u00edan estar en silencio mucho tiempo, la profesora te sorprend\u00eda con preguntas repentinas, lo que produce una atenci\u00f3n constante y un aprendizaje que casi no te permit\u00eda pensar la respuesta.<\/p>\n El curso sirve y mucho, no hablaba nada, y ahora puedo presentarme, decir que hice o com\u00ed el d\u00eda anterior, contar los n\u00fameros, decir la hora, las profesiones, frutas, verduras, etc. Despu\u00e9s de unas semanas se me hizo m\u00e1s f\u00e1cil tomar los taxis, consultar precios, ir al supermercado, situaciones que son s\u00faper b\u00e1sicas pero que el d\u00eda que llegue a El L\u00edbano, no sab\u00eda hacer y me doy cuenta que hoy s\u00ed puedo. \u00a1Es incre\u00edblemente maravilloso!<\/p>\n En la universidad siempre me sent\u00ed en casa. Tanto la directora como los profesores fueron muy amables y preocupados por nosotros los estudiantes, ellos est\u00e1n constantemente organizando paseos para conocer diferentes lugares, y tambi\u00e9n para conocernos entre nosotros mismos – los estudiantes que ven\u00edamos de diferentes rincones-, y esto, lo hac\u00edan durante la semana como fines de semana.<\/p>\n La Beca, \u00a0me llen\u00f3 de aprendizajes y \u00a0cultura, me dio la oportunidad de conocer nuevos amigos y a una familia que sab\u00eda que exist\u00eda y que era parte de la m\u00eda. Encontrar mis origines y dar cuenta de d\u00f3nde vengo es aclarar una parte de mi historia y poder responder esa pregunta luego de a\u00f1os, ha sido el regalo m\u00e1s lindo.<\/p>\n Si tuviera que elegir un momento favorito del viaje me pregunto, cu\u00e1l ser\u00eda?, las clases de liban\u00e9s?, los amigos?, lugares que conoc\u00ed?, la comida? conocer el pueblo de mis antepasados? o mi familia que por circunstancias de la vida fue separada? Evidentemente, esas preguntas no tienen respuesta, se hace imposible escoger un solo momento, pues sin duda fue un viaje maravilloso de principio a fin.<\/p>\n Como dec\u00eda antes, \u00a0la Beca para mi significo mucho, porque no solo me permiti\u00f3 estudiar dialecto, sino que me permiti\u00f3 conocer a mi familia y su pueblo Hadchit.\u00a0 Volver despu\u00e9s de casi 90 a\u00f1os, y conocer \u00a0nueve primos hermanos de mi madre fue muy emocionante.\u00a0 Pensaba en ese momento, que feliz y orgullosa estar\u00eda mi sette si lo supiera.<\/p>\n Siempre sent\u00ed mucha conexi\u00f3n con el L\u00edbano antes de \u00e9ste viaje, pero a mi retorno esa conexi\u00f3n se multiplico por miles, es incre\u00edble, sent\u00ed El L\u00edbano, mi hogar desde el principio”.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In 2019, WLCU Board of Trustees President Mr. Bechara G. Bechara offered a full scholarship for a member of the WLCU Youth from Latin America to study Arabic at Universti\u00e9 Saint Joseph (USJ) for a whole month!
