Blue Mission has its origins in the Lebanese civil war (1975-1990) when its founder, an educational psychologist <\/span>Sana El Bizri, sought to alleviate the widespread suffering through her work as country representative, <\/span>coordinator and trainer with Terredes Hommes, MSF, and Enfants R\u00e9fugi\u00e9s du Monde,\u00a0 <\/span>among\u00a0<\/span>other\u00a0\u00a0international agencies. In 2002 she founded the cooperative Blue Mission\/Training Center for\u00a0 <\/span>Community\u00a0<\/span>Development in Saida, South Lebanon.\u00a0<\/h4>

\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>

She adapted a Canadian peace and capacity building program \u201cAmbassadors of Peace<\/a>\u201d\u00a0<\/span>to the Lebanese\u00a0situation, thereby developing a grounded curriculum for positive change and conflict\u00a0 transformation that has\u00a0since been Blue Mission flagship program. It is premised on academic theories in the field of developmental\u00a0psychology and psychosocial awareness.\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>

\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>

In 2008, Blue Mission gained official recognition as NGO. Since its foundation, Blue Mission has implemented\u00a0<\/span>numerous projects<\/a> in collaboration with local, regional and international partners<\/a>. Blue Mission has developed\u00a0<\/span>an excellent\u00a0<\/span>reputation as non political, non-sectarian movement that supports young and elderlies regardless\u00a0of their social, ethnic, religious, national, gender, or any other background.<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

      Blue Mission is dedicated to the promotion of a sustainable culture of peace. We believe that the key to this mission is the empowerment of\u00a0individuals to become actors of positive change in their communities. Our mission is predicated on incorporating beneficiaries and\u00a0community members into our projects to work with Blue Mission staff and volunteers. Achieving this goal also requires our engagement\u00a0with underserved and marginal communities–both resident and refugee communities–in the following critical sectors: Health, Mental\u00a0Health, Education, Capacity Building, Youth Empowerment, and Peacebuilding.<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
