Telethon 2013 – The True Colors of Love and Joy
Colors fell and currents came together on Stouh Beirut. The color of love and the joy of giving were the common threads among Dalia Dagher’s guests on OTV from Stouh Beirut on Monday evening, December 23, 2013. The show managed to raise funds to help four needy families from four different Lebanese regions, divided into four teams:
- The Raji Eid family from Labbéa: His Excellency Bishop Elie Haddad, MP Ziad Aswad, and actress Takla Chamoun.
- The Rose Haddad family from Nabaa: Minister Nicolas Sahnaoui, lawyer Suleiman Franjieh, and former Miss Lebanon Christina Sawaya.
- The Jean Bou Naoum family from Ablah, Bekaa: Former Minister Salim Wardeh, journalist Matilda Farjallah, and artist Nicolas Al-Asta.
- The Najwa Khoury family: MP Jean Oghassabian, director Mirna Khiat, and actor Fadi Ibrahim.
The episode featured numerous calls from Lebanon and abroad and saw active interaction among the guests, who cooperated in managing the calls and encouraged viewers to participate and help. The atmosphere was enriched with music and singing by artist Nicolas Al-Asta, who opened with a humanitarian song that fit the episode’s spirit, along with contributions from Jad Al-Qatryb and guitarist Jihad Wehbi.
Dalia Dagher announced that the aid received by the families would later be filmed with the teams responsible for taking the calls in a segment titled “All Together from Stouh Beirut”
It was a truly special episode that brought together joy and music, transcended divisions and affiliations, and conveyed the true meaning and spirit of the holiday.
This episode was written and presented by Dalia Dagher, with a production team that included Christine Farah, Zeina Khalil, and Mirna Rizwan, and was directed by Patrick Naaymeh.
