The award is granted to personalities and organizations whose work leads to improvements in society or human beings. <\/p>\n<p>The ceremony was held at the headquarters of the S&atilde;o Paulo Rotary Club, in S&atilde;o Paulo. Younes, a native of Lebanon who arrived in Brazil in September 1976, was honored in the Health category in recognition for his medical and science research work. The Arab Brazilian Chamber&rsquo;s&nbsp;president Rubens Hannun and International Relations vice president Osmar Chohfi were in attendance.<\/p>\n<p>After accepting the award from Ateneu Rotary Board chairman and Arab Brazilian Chamber Treasury director Nahid Chicani, the Arab Chamber vice president said: &ldquo;I would like to thank the S&atilde;o Paulo Rotary Club for this honorable award. The Rotary carries the flag of helping people without any interest, and I am and always have been interested in this flag,&rdquo; he said. <\/p>\n<p>Younes said his activities are carried out in two fronts: the professional and the academic one. In addition to his work as a physician, he conducts scientific research and performs voluntary charity activities. &ldquo;These things are not a choice: they are a responsibility and an obligation. And this is the foundation of Riad, the human being, much more so than Riad, the physician,&rdquo; he explained. <\/p>\n<p>Established in 1974, the Ateneu Rot&aacute;rio award has been given to 29 organizations and to more than 300 people. After a 15-year hiatus &ndash; the accolade had last been given in 2002 &ndash;, the award resumed this year. Also honored besides Younes were General Jo&atilde;o Camilo Pires de Campos, the military commander of Brazil&rsquo;s Southeast; businessman and S&atilde;o Paulo mayor Jo&atilde;o Doria J&uacute;nior; professor Jos&eacute; Renato Nalini; architect Paulo Machias Mendes da Rocha; and Instituto Brasileiro de Governan&ccedil;a Corporativa (IBGC, the Brazilian corporate governance institute).<\/p>\n<p><strong>*Translated by Gabriel Pomerancblum<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-190891\">Andr\u00e9 Barros\/ANBA<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce\u2019s Marketing vice president was graced with the Ateneu Rot\u00e1rio award in recognition for his work in healthcare.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2299,"featured_media":190891,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[91],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-58586","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-economy"},"wps_subtitle":"The Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce\u2019s Marketing vice president was graced with the Ateneu Rot\u00e1rio award in recognition for his work in healthcare.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58586","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2299"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58586"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58586\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/190891"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58586"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58586"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58586"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
