It is a sticky, summer night in Beirut. A crowd gathers around a projector at a venue in the city's Hamra district.
"10! 9! 8! 7! 6!" they count down.
The crowd is anticipating the launch of a crowdfunding effort called #ShatilAlive that's designed to raise funds for the Basmeh wa Zeitooneh community organization and arts and cultural center located in the heart of Beirut's Shatila refugee camp.
