What A REFRESHING WEBSITE I FOUND! I Enjoyed the Photos and Documentaries you posted. How disappointed I was as I started reading some of the facts and Details about the civil war. I Found a lot of inaccuracies accounts about the Druze Actions. It was a Reaction to the events that were initiated on them that triggered the reactions that they had. Not to defend those reactions however, I felt it was important for the sake of the future generations of Lebanese at large to understand that the Civil was devastating to all parties. It is Important for us not to elaborate on the negative relationships rather celebrate the positive and the many prosperous years and history together as a ONE Lebanese in One Lebanon! --- Bassam Eleid Hi, This is Ghazi Ghanem, I am Antoun Ghanem's son, I am now in the USA and I had the pleasant surprise to find a website about Ain Zhalta on the web with all those beautiful pictures. I was so happy and proud. Thanks for taking the time and effort to do this great work. Keep it up guys… --- Ghazi Ghanem I was doing a little web surfing and came across Ain Zhalta site. It is so nice to be able to "go back home" by way of internet. I found the site fabulous, not only by design but by contents.. It captured my spirit and values dear to home.. I felt surrounded with warmth and comfort and made me feel that the older I get the more I appreciate the beauty of Ain Zhalta. Well I just want to thank you for your effort in this web site.. it is really a special and nice site for those who are really concerned about their village.. And sure it makes people in Ain Zhalta proud to belong to such a place.. Thanks again for this remarkable site.. It really aches that our kids are deemed to grow up adopted from other countries!! --- May Hello, my name is Wessam Kamaleddine. I am 26 years old and was born and raised in Canada. My first trip to Ain Zhalta was in 1988 when I was 8 years old. I spent 9 months there and its the greatest town in all of Lebanon. I hope to return there soon. Thank you and Great Website. Keep up the good work! --- Wessam Kamaleddine George Khouri who emigrated to Seattle in 1906 was my grandfather. I grew up in Seattle and now live in Pennsylvania. I made a book for my family last Christmas about all of our ancestors and in researching my grandfather's story, I found this website! Really enjoyed learning about Ain Zhalta and hope to visit one day. --- Kristine Shakhazizian Hello, Congratulations for this site. It brought back beautiful memories. My name is Khalil Haddad from Barouk, Ain-Zhalta's neighbours. I have childhood memories in Ain-Zhalta where we used to spend our summers as we have many relatives (Chakkour, Moghabghab and Haddad families). But I would like to draw your attention that the Chakkour family is not listed in the Ain-Zhalta's families section. --- Khalil Haddad
