As I celebrate my birthday this year, I’ve chosen to mark it with purpose and hope. While I’m truly grateful for all the kind wishes and love, my heart is with Syria, my homeland, where devastating wildfires are destroying the forests of Latakia. These trees are more than just nature; they hold our stories, our roots, and our future. That’s why I’m asking my friends, supporters, and anyone who cares to stand with me in giving back. Instead of gifts, I invite you to support the Molham Team’s Tree Planting campaign. Each $10 donation covers the cost of planting one tree, one real step toward healing the land we love. Let’s turn this moment into something lasting for the people, for the earth, and for tomorrow. Thank you! Chef Imad
