Friends, you will find pictures of the visit to Gaza for five days of Lorenzo and Andres. They visited with Sabah several very poor families and also some of our schools especially our newest school which is painted beautifully.

Joe, Juan and I visited Gaza Feb. 11, 2015

This was a day visit and the first time there for Fr. Juan. He received some orientation and saw firsthand the results of the war. Our main objective was to meet with Caritas and to see how we could work together to serve the sick.

January 2015, Workshop

We offered our 22 teachers three days of learning to create educational tools to work with their children. We provided materials and they shared their ideas from the four pre-schools that we sponsor. The Musadder School hosted the three days. It was a great success as the teachers asked that we repeat this experience in the coming months.

Glasses for school children

Visit December 9 and 10th 2014

This visit was two days of meetings, a visit to one of the UNERWA Schools where people are still living and visits to four very poor families.
On the tenth of each month this year our staff meets with all the directors of the three schools and I was delighted to be present for one of these meetings. The main discussion was about the higher price of food and the greater number of children in two of the schools.

Visit November 2014, 17 and 18

Three of us went down, Br. Joe, Lorenzo and I and Sabah met us at the Palestinian side just in time to help us with our permits to enter. The Al Arabia School we visited first as it is near the border. The school was able to have an NGO sponsor new paint for the classes, so some classes of children were eating outside. Still others were studying inside. The meal was a sandwich due to the painting in process.
