prayers are great but here are organisations you can support and donate to after the explosion in beirut, lebanon. as of right now august 4th 2020, 54 bodies have been recovered and thousands are injured, and entire neighbourhoods including hospitals have been destroyed. we’re already in an economic crisis and famine on top of covid and our government, as usual, has done and is doing nothing to help us, much less the refugees. we still don’t know what or who set off the explosion. we have 1.5 million syrian refugees and 300k palestinian refugees who also need help.

- save the children lebanon

- muslim aid lebanon

- bassma: donations go to help families pay for health care, food boxes, clothing, education and tutoring

- anera: donate to syrian and palestinian refugee camps in lebanon

- lebanese food bank

- association najdeh for female palestinian refugees in lebanon

- lebanese red cross

- penny appeal lebanon, help buy food for children and families

- islamic relief usa / islamic relief canada

- basmeh and zeitooneh: learn about the social and economic crisis + donate here

- jusoor syria, refugee education program in lebanon

- help lebanon carrd with a few more ressources + overall petitions

if you know of any dependable and official charities/ngos in lebanon please reblog and i will add them onto this post as well.

edit: there is a post circulating saying that donating to lebanese charities is kind of useless atm bc the value of currency has dropped immensely so. idk i think its still important to donate to these ngos bc they provide long term direct help to ppl (food, shelter, education etc) and not through the government but the post did make valid points and i will try to find other funds as well!

edit 2: nvm lmao! donate your hearts out these are approved ngos who dont go through our shitty ass gov!

Feliz Dia de Portugal!

Today is the Day of Portugal, of Luís de Camões and the Portuguese Communities! (Dia de Portugal, de Camões e das Comunidades Portuguesas)

Camões wrote Os Lusíadas (usually translated as The Lusiads), Portugal’s national epic poem celebrating Portuguese history and achievements. The poem focuses mainly on the 15th-century Portuguese explorations, which brought fame and fortune to the country. The poem, considered one of the finest and most important works in Portuguese literature, became a symbol for the great feats of the Portuguese Empire.

Camões was an adventurer who lost one eye fighting in Ceuta, wrote the poem while travelling, and survived a shipwreck in Cochinchina (a region of present-day Vietnam). According to popular folklore, Camões saved his epic poem by swimming with one arm while keeping the other arm above water. Since his date of birth is unknown, his date of death is celebrated as Portugal’s National Day.

Although Camões became a symbol for Portugal nationalism, his death coincided with the Portuguese succession crisis of 1580 that eventually resulted in Philip II of Spain claiming the Portuguese throne. Portugal was then ruled by three generations of Spanish kings during the Iberian Union (1580–1640). On 1 December 1640, the country regained its independence once again by expelling the Spanish during the Portuguese Restoration War and making John of Bragança, King John IV of Portugal.

During the authoritarian Estado Novo regime in the 20th century, Camões was used as a symbol for the Portuguese nation. In 1944, at the dedication ceremony of the National Stadium in Oeiras (near Lisbon), Prime Minister of Portugal António de Oliveira Salazar referred to 10 June as Dia da Raça (Day of the Portuguese Race). The notion of a Portuguese “race” served his nationalist purposes.[1]

Portugal Day celebrations were officially suspended during the Carnation Revolution in 1974. Celebrations resumed after 1974 and were expanded to include the Comunidades Portuguesas, Portuguese emigrants and their descendants living in communities all around the world.
