“Like every year, we, at the Four Points by Sheraton Le Verdun, as part of “Starwood Cares”, wanted to give back to our community. And like every year our partner in crime is BASSMA.
This year we have decided to help renovating a rundown house and we were directed by the very able hands of BASSMA to the correct place.
We went for a first visit to inspect the house and assess the amount of help we can provide.
We put our plan in place, prepared all we needed and came back ten days later... full of enthusiasm...Too many to fit in the small place.
We started by cleaning the house... the walls, the ceiling... then it started getting dark & found out that there was no light where we were working... so we added this to our “To Do List”.
We painted, we replaced the wood that was placed on the windows of the “so called” bathroom they have by tainted glass, we placed lights, we cleaned, we placed extra cupboards, etc ... and one of them helped the kids with their homework.
Still having a lot to do, we started to realize that it’s getting too late and that we have to get back another time.
We bid farewell to the family with a promise of a “See you soon...”

"Each family has the right to have a shelter to live in and benefit from family moments in a friendly and decent environment. That's why BASSMA established a program of House Renovation that allows families to have a "home" worthy of its name.
