Hot it was the 27 th. of July, Don, Lorenzo and I crossed the boarder bring in used clothing as usual and some hearing aid materials for a center in the north.
Sabah met us and we went directly to bring Sr. Clara home in the Beach Camp as she came from us from Jerusalem. Taking the beach road we went to Khan Yunis where we visited the Culture and Free Thought woman's center which gives out loans to women. Three of their members told about their program for women and answered our questions. They see giving grants as relief work and giving loans as development work. We went away enriched and challenged.
On our arrival in Gaza City we met discussing the families whom we had helped in July with medical needs and felt like we had helped to make a difference in the lives of these suffering individuals, eight people had been helped with medications or physical therapy and one had surgery.
Italian friends had given Lorenzo 150 pairs of glasses frames which we were able to give to the center where three doctors sever children needing glasses for a minimal cost. A parish in Italy gave us 1,000 euros last years allowing 46 children to have glasses and now we will be able to serve even more this year due to the same sum given again plus, being ale to use the glasses frames which were donated.
