Graphic Designer - Sin el Fil

Common Effort is a Lebanese non-profit, non-governmental and non-political organization that was created by a group of youth in 2010 with the sole purpose of spreading peace and giving back to society. That mission started out with small fundraisers and donations, that helped with the distribution of food, clothes and toys during the holidays, and later on extended through larger periods of time.
