On November 5, 2026, Patrick Abou Arraj (3GS), Carl Medawar (3LS), and Merhij-Charbel Nassif (3LS) showcased their award-winning sustainability project, Waffera, at AUB’s Maroun Semaan Faculty of Engineering and Architecture (MSFE) EARTH MARK 2026 initiative.

Presenting to AUB students and faculty, the team demonstrated how organic waste can be transformed into renewable biogas and nutrient-rich digestate through anaerobic digestion, offering an innovative solution for a more sustainable future.

A special achievement indeed, as they were the only high school students who participated in the initiative.

Congratulations to our students representing Jesus & Mary School with excellence, and heartfelt thank you to Dr. Darine Salam and the AUB organizing team for the invitation, guidance, and support.
