Regarding his decision to join LA Beirut Sister City, Ramzi stated "I believe that those of us who through good fortune and education now lead a comfortable lifestyle have an obligation to use our skills and influence to better the lives of the less fortunate here in America and the rest of the world. This can be achieved by promoting cultural and arts exchange, through charitable organizations that aid those in need and through the political process by supporting human rights organization and lobbying our elected representatives."
