Tibra Awards--now in its 5th round--needs participation from more members of the Libyan community in order to continue encouraging achievement by Libyan youth. Your support is critical to the success of this community project.

We look forward to receiving your contributions. If you need any further information or assistance, please do not hesitate to let us know.

Remember that, "People make a living by what they get. But they make a life by what they give."

Thank you.
