Early on a Saturday morning (October 11, 2008), the students of the faculty of theology had an activity which united the bonds of the students and the Monastery of Our Lady of Balamand. The activity took place on the land surrounding the monastery. They performed many activities together like picking lemons from the trees of the monastery and picking up chopped wood from trees. After the activity, the students were invited by Archimandrite Isaac Barakat to drink some coffee and some sweets.
