Students are traditionally idealistic, so the idea of being able to take part in a global campaign that is based on democratic participation is bound to appeal to a generation that has heard the winds of change blow across the Middle East this year. That’s why students at Notre Notre Dame University–Louaize in Lebanon recently voted so enthusiastically for New7Wonders of Nature Finalist Jeita Grotto by SMS and online.

Dr Nabil Haddad, managing director of MAPAS, the firm in charge of the grotto’s operations, encouraged the students to participate in the voting campaign.

Founded in 1987, Notre Dame University–Louaize, is a private, non-profit Catholic higher education institution which follows the American system of education.
