Puck is turning the act of eating into an act of giving this Ramadan with 'Recipe for Change' initiative
Bringing six authentic, home-cooked dishes from Lebanese moms to top Lebanese restaurants in the UAE and KSA
50% of the sales from each order in the UAE will be donated to support affected Lebanese families through a partnership with Dubai Cares
DUBAI, UAE, March 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Puck announced today the launch of 'Recipe for Change', a Ramadan initiative aimed at empowering Lebanese women while celebrating Lebanon's rich culinary heritage. In collaboration with Dubai Cares and renowned food critic Anthony Rahayel, the initiative introduces six traditional home-cooked dishes, crafted by Lebanese women, to leading Lebanese restaurants across the UAE and KSA. As part of this initiative, 50% of the proceeds from each dish sold in the UAE will be donated to support affected Lebanese families, reinforcing Puck's commitment to being a true ally to mothers in the region by supporting women's well-being and driving meaningful change in society.
In the wake of the conflict in Lebanon at the end of 2024, many families—particularly women and children—have faced immense hardship, with displacement and loss of homes disrupting their lives. Through 'Recipe for Change', Puck is offering these women a platform to share their culinary creations while also supporting affected Lebanese families. For the second year in a row, Puck partnered with Rahayel to find and select six women to participate in this life-changing initiative.
From March 1 until March 31, 2025, Lebanese diaspora and lovers of Lebanese cuisine now have an opportunity to make a tangible difference—simply by dining in or ordering online for Iftar, Suhoor or any meal of the day at Abdul Wahab, Al Safadi, Kaak Al Manara, Manarit Beirut, Habib Beirut, Mosaic and Karam Beirut branches across the UAE.
Mahitab Hamed, Marketing Vice President at Arla Foods, said: "As a brand with purpose at its core, Puck is committed to uplifting communities and championing women. Recipe for Change is a testament to this mission, honouring the culinary traditions of remarkable Lebanese mothers supporting affected Lebanese families."
The six authentic dishes featured in the campaign include Zenkol, Mouhalibiya, Macaroni bi Crème, Spinach and Cheese Fatayer, Kebbet Batata with Cheese, and Cheese Maamoul. These recipes have been lovingly shared by the talented women behind them: Ibtihaj, Fidaa, Viviane, Nada, Amani, and Feryal. Through this initiative, their voices and culinary legacies are given the opportunity to be celebrated and shared with the world. The collaboration with Anthony Rahayel, whose passion for Lebanese food and culture, helped connect these women to renowned restaurants across the UAE, will also see Awani Restaurant in KSA adding these special dishes to their menu, ensuring the stories reach a wider audience beyond the UAE.
As Ramadan approaches, Puck invites everyone to join in the 'Recipe for Change' initiative. Every dish ordered is more than just a meal—it's a chance to sustain a family and make a lasting impact on the rebuilding of Lebanon.

Zonta International Names Lisa Blair, Advocate for Equality, an International Honorary Member on World Environment Day
OAK BROOK, Ill., June 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Zonta International announced today that it would award Lisa Blair, OAM, an honorary membership in the organization, which works to build a better world for women and girls. Zonta specifically chose 5 June for this announcement as World Environment Day is also an opportunity to elevate the issue of gender equality, a cause that Ms. Blair stands firmly for within her work. Ms. Blair is the fastest person to sail solo, non-stop and unassisted around Antarctica on her yacht, Climate Action Now. She holds eight world records, having sailed over 130,000 nm and holds an RYA Yacht Master offshore. Ms. Blair is a proud Australian adventurer, author of Facing Fear, and was a keynote speaker at the 2024 Zonta International Convention in Brisbane, Australia. There, she shared her inspirational story of how she came to be a climate activist and inspired others to take action now. Throughout her time at sea, Ms. Blair has seen how humans have a direct impact upon the environment. From being close to shore to the most remote areas in the Antarctic, she saw evidence of microplastics and the damage they cause. Determined to get the topic into the headlines, Ms. Blair chose to name her yacht, Climate Action Now, so that the topic she cares so passionately about gets mentioned in the same media that announces her record-breaking actions. Ms. Blair's upcoming Arctic Impact Project is another exercise in sustainability and action. She intends to build a sustainable boat from Basalt rock and Bio resins and sail it solo, non-stop and unassisted around the Arctic Circle. "People won't protect what they don't have a connection with," said Ms. Blair. "My goal through my projects is to take my audience to the most remote and impacted parts of our world and, through the power of storytelling, inspire them to take action." Zonta International commends Ms. Blair for her actions in drawing attention to climate action and sustainability. In times of extreme weather events, research shows that women often face greater challenges in recovering than men. This disparity stems from systemic gender inequalities that result in women having access to fewer resources and opportunities. As more climate-related disasters occur, the gap between men and women widens, complicating women's ability to rebuild their lives in the face of obstacles to their education, employment, legal rights and leadership roles. "I am incredibly honored to be awarded an honorary membership to Zonta International, they are taking strong climate action for women and girls, and I am proud to work with them so that together we can amplify the need for sustainability and protection of our planet," said Ms. Blair. Zonta International and Ms. Blair stand united in calling for swift and decisive actions that address climate change. The time to prepare is now and we must ensure the needs of women and girls are met before disaster strikes. We must work together to promote gender equality and ensure that both women and men have equal opportunities and resources to thrive. We invite all members of the global community to join us and Ms. Blair in our shared responsibility as stewards of our planet. Together, we can build a better world for women and girls by promoting climate-conscious practices in our daily lives and beyond.

Pawsitive Beginnings expands its animal-assisted therapy network with new partner and fox addition
The Florida-based nonprofit is joining forces with Christina's Courage while also welcoming a two-month-old kit KEY LARGO, Fla., June 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Pawsitive Beginnings, a growing fox rescue program in Key Largo, Florida, continues to develop its animal-assisted therapy network by announcing a new partnership with Christina's Courage, a victim-centered support service program for sexual violence survivors in Monroe County, Florida. "We believe in the connection between humans and animals and use our unique animal-assisted therapy program to provide hope and healing to trauma survivors in the Florida Keys," said Nicole Navarro, founder of Pawsitive Beginnings. "We hope our partnership with Christina's Courage will provide the victims of sexual violence with the therapeutic space these survivors and their counselors need to start the healing process. Our foxes have also overcome hardship and adversity and can serve as living examples of resilience." Christina's Courage is a sexual assault advocacy center serving the entire Florida Keys and is the first and only advocacy center of its kind in Monroe County. It provides a range of services for survivors of sexual violence, including forensic exams, advocacy, support, and free therapy. In addition to growing its therapy network, Pawsitive Beginnings is also adding new residents to its den. Recently, the fox rescue group adopted a two-month-old fox kit named Isla, whose story of survival will be added to assist in the therapy program. Isla was born to a vixen who was surrendered to another fox rescue group in Minnesota. Isla's mother was part of a large group of animals who had survived the exotic pet trade. Navarro said Penny, a longtime Pawsitive Beginnings fox resident, has "adopted" Isla as one of her own since the kit's arrival. "These animals cannot be returned to the wild for a variety of reasons that include their inability to blend into the wild and the fact that it is illegal to introduce non-native farmed foxes back into the environment," she said. "Because we believe that rehabilitation is possible for everyone, regardless of species, we feel partnering these foxes with other survivors of trauma is a win-win situation for everyone." In addition to Christina's Courage, Pawsitive Beginnings also partners with Kinder in the Keys, the Florida Keys Children's Shelter, Key Bridge, Inc. and Project Lighthouse to provide the free animal-assisted therapy program. However, Navarro said the group needs more sponsors so that it can remain available at no cost. Annual sponsorships are used to help fund partner visits and allow Pawsitive Beginnings to purchase items specific to the therapy program. Sponsors are also provided with complementary tickets to visit the sanctuary and attend fundraising events, and their name and company logo are prominently displayed on the rescue's website and communications. Currently, there are three sponsorship choices: Diamond, Platinum and Gold. For more information on how to become a sponsor or learn more about animal-assisted therapy, visit To donate to the fox rescue group, visit They also have an Amazon Wish List they update regularly. Pawsitive Beginnings has received a Platinum Seal of Transparency from and is rated a top nonprofit by Great Non-Profits. For more information on Pawsitive Beginnings, visit About Pawsitive Beginnings, Inc. Founded in 2020, Pawsitive Beginnings, Inc. is a nonprofit organization that provides a safe and nurturing permanent home for foxes rescued from the fur trade. The organization provides placement assistance for foxes in regions where fur farming is prevalent. Pawsitive Beginnings offers crucial animal-assisted therapy to at-risk youth and adults recovering from trauma. Additionally, we strive to create change through compassion by educating the public about fur farming and works to end the fur industry.
