On Tuesday, I was able
to work alongside the Bethlehem Rehabilitation Hospital outreach team, a social
worker, a psychologist, an occupational therapist and a physiotherapist. We went to the village of Al Ubudieh just
outside Bethlehem. One very bright young girl we met, who is permanently
confined to her wheelchair, is not able to go to school because of the
situation of the house which lies up a steep rough track. Maybe an approach to
the local Mayor who, with some luck, might authorise a wheelchair track which
would enable her to get to school. The care shown by the professionals in the
outreach team was just wonderful to witness. Such gentle kindness in this
difficult area is a privilege to see.
Today we received the
news that we have been waiting for. Since we decided to start the new charity
Abraham’s Children in Crisis in February this year we have worked hard to
create an organisation that will benefit those children in the greatest need
here in the Holy Land. The Charity Commissioners have now accepted our
application and have registered us with the registered charity no. 1159189.
