This was a particularly hard visit for me as it was my last, especially saying good-by to Sabah. Br. Lorenzo and Andrew a volunteer here in Bethany went with me. Br. Lorenzo, like his companion Br. Andrea who went to Gaza with us earlier in the month are both interested in going with our team regularly to Gaza.
We visited the le Amad School and saw all the teachers who had just finished the summer camp the day before. Following we went to the Mussadar School and saw the summer camp in full swing. After we went to the village near to the Awatif’s school in Maraze. They have one day left of summer camp. In all three schools we admired the crafts done by the children and saw some dance the Dubky.
When near the Mussadar School we visited some particularly poor families who receive our cartons of food. We were able to leave them some used clothing.
Everywhere we went we listened to their stories telling how bad the situation is getting. Sabah and Maha said it we could provide a uniform, school supplies and books for one child in each family of eight, it would be wonderful. We were able to give her donations given us for five children only. Each child would need about IS 100 for these needed items.
Before leaving we visited the Missionaries of Charity. All but one was present. It was a nice visit.
