Thank you all so much for taking the time to look at our page!
This summer four of us- Teresa Witcombe, Robina Wilson, Hanna Salminen & Katie Carson, will be going with the charity UNIPAL (A Universities’ Trust for Educational Exchange with Palestinians) to teach English and support local community initiatives in Jalazone refugee camp, near Ramallah in the West Bank.
Subsequently we are aiming to raise a minimum of £250 towards additional educational resources for the children we will be teaching, materials for the schools and student activities.
NONE of the money raised will go towards the individual funding of our trip which has beeen covered through personal expenses and subsidised by UNIPAL.
Presently there are some 4.8 million refugees registered with UNRWA (the United Nations Relief & Works Agency for Palestinian refugees in the Near East) and more than 11,000 reside in Jalazone camp of which major problems are lack of sewage system and overcrowded schools.
Please visit http://www.unipal.org.uk/index.html to find out more about the charity your donations will support and http://www.unrwa.org/etemplate.php?id=117 for more on Jalazone refugee camp.
