Dear Donors,
we are glad to share news with all of you from our local partner the Effetà Institute and from Bethlehem after the summer break. As we all know, tensions and clashes are on the agenda in particular in the border areas and in the West Bank. The restrictions imposed on Palestinian continue and the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) warns that the Palestinian Territories are facing the worst fiscal crisis in history, due also to lagging international support. The Palestinian economy is still reeling under the impact of Covid-19, with higher levels of unemployment and poverty in the occupied territories.
This news shows how important your support is to the most vulnerable children that live in Bethlehem and to the Effetà Institute. At the end of the last school year, the older students have undergone their final exam and we wish them the best for their future! After the summer holidays, the lessons are starting once again and the 27 specialized teachers are ready to welcome all the 190 students. With their knowledge and competences, they are able to provide a quality education and to answer to the needs of the children with a hearing disability.
Your support is fundamental and we are proud to give our contribution to the activities of the Effetà Institute!
Thank you!
