GAZA VISIT, December 3, 2007
Andrea, Renzo and Sr. Susan went, yet Sr. Susan couldn’t get in. Sabah met the
two Brothers at the boarder. They began with a visit to Bet Hanoun school. With the prices of food skyrocking this last month the teachers could buy much less food with the amount of money which we gave them for the breakfasts. By example the prices of fruite is more than double than then the prices in Jerusalem. Before the prices in Jerusalem were much lower for fruit. We were present when the children received a banana each. They even waited for us to distribute them.
The price of gas has gone up so many children cannot be transported to school now. They asked for help to pay for the transport for this school only. Now the families pay 25 IS monthly for the transport and there are 40 children who need transport. Most of the parents cannot pay any of the cost. Can we contribute monthly 1,000 IS to cover this cost?
We went to the new school in the Shaaf neighborhood of 30,000 residence of Gaza city. Sabah explained to the directress and her staff, our system of collaboration. Especially how she is to use the 900 IS which we give them for the breakfast program. We will start to give them money for breakfast food in December. This school has almost nothing and the first need is dishes and silverware. For this we need to give them IS500 and for the pans and the hot plate they will need IS300.
Sabah insists that now in this difficult time it is very important that the children come to school to get their breakfast as there is no food for them at.
We continued on to Mussadar school. Mohamad still asks for an addition on their building to provide many more services to the school and to the local community. Sabah is looking to help find a benefactor for this.
We met Grada and Maha at the Missionaries of Charity and we paid the money for the last three months which we hadn’t had a chance to do before.
Sabah propose that each school signs a document created by the team giving the information essential for each school and declares the type of collaboration which exists between each school and our team. It should be dated from September until the end of May.
To be present for a distribution of the food in one school we will try to be there on December 15 th. And we will stay for three days, 14, 15, and 16. Sunday will be the day that Msgr. Sabbah will come to celebrate the feast of Christmas with the parish.
