United States, 6th Nov 2025 – In an emotional and deeply personal story “My Forever Home” by Mirna Kassis Elnar, this book tells the story of love, endurance, and the chase of the American dream through the lives of Joe and Mirna. Their journey as immigrants in the United States is marked by struggle, sacrifice, and the firm belief that hard work and persistence direct to success. From the moment they met, their love bloomed against war and displacement, shaping a bond that would endure life’s most important challenges.

The author, a Lebanese-born writer, lures upon her experiences and cultural heritage to bring genuineness and passion to the writing. Her journey, marked by a deep love for her homeland and an unyielding drive to build a life abroad, mirrors the struggles and victories of countless immigrants. Fluent in multiple languages and profoundly rooted in the traditions of her rearing, the author seizes the spirit of Lebanon while reflecting on the difficulties of carving out a space in a foreign land.

Joe’s journey to America was born out of necessity, escaping the chaos in Lebanon with a vision to shape a future entrenched in instability and opportunity. The journey was not easy—beginning from very scratch in a foreign land meant dealing with cultural barriers, financial problems, and the ever-present longing for home. Yet, through pure determination, Joe became a successful entrepreneur, contributing to American society and showing that the American dream is attainable for those eager to work diligently for it.

Mirna, too, confronted the intimidating reality of leaving everything behind for love. Her shift to life in the United States was tense with poignant and cultural adjustments, but her devotion to Joe and their shared future gave her the potential to embrace and thrive. Their love story is evidence of the fact that true love does exist—but it requires honesty, sacrifices, and a persistent will to make the marriage work. Together, they dealt with the complications of integrating two worlds into one, firming their bond with every success and misfortune.

However, love does not protect one from life’s deepest losses. The book carefully explores the pain of losing a soulmate and the endurance required to move forward. When Joe passed away, Mirna confronted the inconceivable grief of continuing without the love of her life. Her story is one of bravery—of honoring his memory while forging ahead with positivity, exemplifying the very core of strength that defined their journey together. Through her experiences, she delivers a message of optimism to those searching for true love and those who have experienced loss, showing that even in sorrow, there is a path to healing.

This memoir, “My Forever Home,” by Mirna Kassis Elnar, is an appreciation of immigrants who enrich American society with their hard work, commitment, and stamina. It is a festivity of endurance, the beauty of love, and the faith that, despite hardships, dreams can certainly come true.

From Dependency to Empowerment: How NOIF’s Financial Literacy and Investment Programs Are Building “Perpetual Gears of Mutual Assistance” in Vulnerable Communities

United States, 6th Nov 2025 – The New Oasis International Foundation (NOIF) today unveiled its Sustainable Finance pillar—a comprehensive financial empowerment model built on sustainable, community-based mutual assistance mechanisms rather than one-sided charitable donations, thereby achieving long-term philanthropic goals while empowering communities.

“We don’t need handouts—we’re building a sustainable mutual aid mechanism,” said the NOIF leadership. “True philanthropy isn’t a one-time donation, but building a closed loop of capabilities, networks, and capital—enabling communities to operate sustainably, continuously improve, and develop autonomously, thereby generating verifiable, replicable, and scalable social impact.”

Previously, NOIF was scheduled to host its Global Vision Forum on November 6th. At the forum, sustainable finance models attracted significant interest from impact investors and development innovators seeking scalable alternatives to traditional aid.

From Dependency to Empowerment

Between 2015-2016, NOIF’s direct financial assistance to families in crisis revealed a critical flaw: communities lacked financial knowledge and capital access. In 2019, this insight catalyzed creation of a dedicated investment fund (AUD 14.66 million) to generate returns while developing replicable financial empowerment models.

Five-Part Financial Empowerment Framework

1. Financial Literacy: Age-appropriate curricula spanning youth to retirement, covering budgeting, investment basics, business finance, and fraud prevention.

2. Investment Education: Teaching investment fundamentals, ESG criteria, and impact investing through community investment clubs.

3. Microenterprise Development: 6-12 month programs with business planning, startup capital (USD 500-5,000), and mentorship.

4. Cooperative Economy: Technical support for establishing cooperatives and social enterprises with democratic governance.

5. Advanced Impact Investment: Training community leaders to attract capital and govern community investment funds.

Breaking the Dependency Cycle

Unlike traditional charity creating repeated dependency, NOIF’s model enables communities to sustain progress independently after initial support—validating genuine sustainable development.

The Dual-Structure Model

NOIF operates two parallel funds: a Public Benefit Fund supporting direct community programs (managed by Equity Trustees), and an Investment Fund (initially AUD 14.66 million) generating returns that fund ongoing programs—creating self-sustaining “perpetual gears” of community empowerment.

Global Expansion

With legal incorporation complete in Colorado, NOIF’s 2026 priorities include expanding to additional international jurisdictions, developing standardized toolkits, integrating mobile banking, and establishing the Oasis Capital Committee for governance oversight.

About New Oasis International Foundation (NOIF)

NOIF was established in 2014 and formally registered as a nonprofit corporation in Colorado on 2025 (Entity ID: 20258176426, EIN: 39-5084075). The foundation operates globally through five strategic pillars: Community Resilience, Education Equity, Social Inclusion, Community Culture, and Sustainable Finance.The foundation operates through a rigorously selected network of regional partners and employs a unique model that combines direct project support with an impact-oriented investment strategy. On November 6, 2025, NOIF held its inaugural Global Vision Forum in New South Wales, Australia, its first major international conference since gaining full legal recognition.
