Beit Uri supporters,
We recently completed a wonderfully exciting GlobalGiving campaign exceeding our $15,000 goal to update the run down arts and crafts equipment used daily by over 70 Beit Uri special needs residents.
The high-quality products created and produced by the many workshops in the village work throughout the year producing candles, baskets, ceramics, recycled paper items, wool and weaving masterpieces, carpentry and mouth-watering baked goods and a wide selection of jams. All are sold in the in-house café gallery and in country-wide bazaars, where Beit Uri residents proudly sell their wares.
The first long overdue and eagerly awaited-for purchase with your donations has been the ceramic kiln used to fire bowls, mobiles, wall hangings, kitchen utensils and tableware.
With improved equipment we will be able to enhance the effectiveness of the residents' employment, by creating higher-quality goods and help increase Beit Uri's overall sustainability.
Our own son living in Beit Uri, plays his part in producing and working in a unique environment and together with all his peers gains a great sense of pride in giving give back something to the society that cares for them.
Thank you so very much for your generosity and for being part of this wonderful project. Happy Thanksgiving, Happy Chanukah and Happy Christmas to all our donors !
