Part of HUMANSERVE's mandate is to inform the Canadian public about humanitarian aspects of Palestinians and Lebanese in the Middle East.  We also endeavour  to develop mutual ties with all individuals, groups and organizations interested in the humanitarian aspects of disadvantaged populations  in the Middle East.  One of the ways we are able to achieve this goal is to organize public engagement activities and to participate in similar activities sponsored by other groups and organizations.

 Public engagement activities link international development activities with community awareness and education in Canada.  By making these links, HUMANSERVE works to facilitate a learning process that will emnable Canadians to better understand the nature and importance of global issues.  Through public engagement activities, HUMANSERVE encourages Canadians to:

• appreciate the importance of global interdependence
• recognize the ability of people in developing countries to find solutions to their own probles
• understand the many facets required for sustainable development (environmental, economic, social and cultural development)
• see the importance of Canadian support for international development
• become actively involved in international development activities at home and abroad
