Come share what brings you luck and help spread it to others!

Proceeds will support Go Project Hope , a nonprofit co-founded by Miss Lahoud, who also serves as its Education Director. In her role, she designs and implements education programs for refugees with the aim of improving lives and uplifting communities. Through this humanitarian work, Rita created a social justice program that provides opportunities for her students to connect with children living in refugee camps abroad through joint projects that promote global awareness.
Rita Lahoud holds a bachelor’s degree in early childhood education and a master’s degree in special education. She coordinates and leads an interdisciplinary Middle Eastern and North African studies program designed for young children, blending Arabic language with the art and culture of the Arab world. She inspires her students to learn Arabic through lessons that infuse song, dance, and visual art.
Go Project Hope is a volunteer-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting refugees and displaced people through health, education, and mindfulness initiatives. They deploy medical professionals to understaffed refugee camp health centers and create informal education programs to enhance the academic, social, and emotional well-being of displaced children and youth. Originally a grassroots community project, they have grown into a global organization committed to improving the lives of displaced families worldwide.
