When we started this campaign last year, Gaza was under heavy bombing and violence was spreading all around Israel. A year later it seems that nothing has changed and the situation is even worse. More wars are spreading throughout the world and violence seems to destroy all our efforts to build a future in the Holy Land. You probably heard about the recent events regarding the Palestinian and American reporter Shereen Abu Akleh and her funerals. In that occasion we couldn't believe that violence could reach such a point.
All these events are the terrible expression of a world where concepts like sharing and dialogue are disappearing more and more. This is why we must act now!
Violence seems to be overwhelming but this has not stopped us during this year in our effort to build peace in the Holy Land through assistance to those in need and education to peace and dialogue.
Also thanks to your contribution we supported
- 1188 families in need due to critical social, political and economic situation through our Social Service Center in Bethlehem.
- 1008 children of the Terra Sancta Schools in Israel and the West Bank through scholarships and various materials. The schools grant a high level of education, but they especially are a unique place of dialogue and frienship for children of different religions.
- 207 children with special needs in Gaza especially the children affected by butterfly desease.
And there's a lot more! You may find more information here.
You have already helped us to do a lot, but much more has to be done if we really want a change!
Thank you for what you may able to do.
