Monday 17th May, 2026
After four unforgettable years with the BLS, I’ve made the decision to resign from my position as Activities Coordinator as I move on to the next academic chapter of my life. I’ve been accepted into my masters & will begin tomorrow inshaAllah.
From Patron Coffee at the Embassy in 2022 to author talks, movie mornings, Ramadan events, karaoke nights, morning walks, arts & crafts, Pilates classes, cultural events, coffee mornings, and so many more memories, this journey has given me friendships and experiences I’ll always treasure.
Thank you for all the support, love, and beautiful moments over the years. I’ll always be grateful to have been part of this community.
For the people who’ve supported my photography business; thank you so much.
A special thank you for those who’ve continued to support me & help me make the BLS into a more extraordinary organization; Seema Gadhok, Layla Boresli, Munah Boresli, Nihad Nabil, Ibtissam Hajj, Brigitte Natour & many more.
Best,
Ridaab Marzuq
