Ben Stiller American actor, comedian, producer, and director, Susan Sarandon American actress/activist and Nadine Labaki Lebanese actress, director, unite to support -Soufra Beirut(Palestinian inspired dishes crafted by the ladies of Burj el Barajneh refugee camp, in the heart of Beirut) at Beirut Digital District organized by Alfanar venture philanthropy-www.alfanar.org.
"the Arab world's first venture philanthropy organisation -- has backed the intrepid social entrepreneur Mariam Al Shaar and the ladies of the Women's Programs Association in Lebanon's Burj el Barajneh refugee camp to launch the first foodtruck wholly owned and run by women refugees in Lebanon. Mariam's is a story compelling enough that Susan Sarandon executive produced, and Thomas Morgan directed a documentary film by the name of the truck. After making the rounds at festivals around the world, we are thrilled to share the inspiring story of SOUFRA with friends and supporters in Beirut."
