On the 8th February we celebrated the second anniversary of
our operating as a charity, offering care for the medical, educational and
welfare needs of children in crisis in the Holy Land.
Sharing in the pain and sometimes the joy of the children of this troubled
area and seeing the resilience, determination and bravery of so many is such an
enormous privilege. Enabled by many fantastic people both in the U.K. and the
Holy Land, the charity has now been able to help lift more children out of
their crises. This has been achieved by listening to the children and
their families and working alongside medical, educational and welfare
professionals to ensure that we can offer the most practical and
appropriate help to those who are in the greatest need.
It is so important, we feel, that we continue to be dedicated to
being apolitical and non judgemental - helping children solely on the
basis of need and not on the background or faith of the child.
Over the past two years we have given fifty six talks around the UK to try
and raise an awareness of the plight of children in crisis in the Holy Land.
Universally, we have been received with such welcome and generosity by some
wonderful people of all faiths and of none in churches, mosques, schools and
other organisations.
Over the next few weeks
we are looking forward very much to visiting and giving talks at:
St. Michael and all Saints Church in Edinburgh
St. John the Baptist
Church in Epping
St. Anne’s Church in
Catterick
Holy Cross Church, Fenham
in Newcastle
King James’s School,
Knaresborough
An enormous thank you to all who have contributed with such kindness and
generosity to these young people by the giving of time, financially or in any
other way. It really has and will continue to make such a positive difference
to many young lives.
