Story

I'm walking 200Km (or 124.27 miles) over 40 days in Lent for the cause below. Please sponsor me.

I visited Jeel al Amal (Generation of Hope) school and boys home in Bethany in January. Bethany is in the West Bank (Palestine) and has electricity for 1 day a week and water for just a few hours a week. They need to store as much water as they can due this time. They have to spend $500 a week on top up water so they can operate safely. 

Next year I hope to visit Al Shurooq blind school in Bethlehem, also in the West Bank (Palestine). These people need our help.

The good news is that despite the ongoing pandemic, and with fantastic support from McCabe travellers, this year the Trust managed to send £250,000 to our partner projects.We have decided that in 2022 we must maintain our quarterly grants to Jeel al Amal in Bethany (where we want to help establish a new kindergarten) and to Al Shurooq in Bethlehem, increase our support of Dadhuwa school in Nepal (where a major renovation project is underway) and in India, as well as looking after our sponsored children at Dr Grahams Homes we would like to additionally help with urgent infrastructure repairs. We would also like to respond positively to urgent requests from the Bethlehem Arab Society for Rehabilitation, the Princess Basma Hospital on the Mount of Olives and the Holy Land Institute for the Deaf in Salt in Jordan.Please consider helping us at this time.Your donation will help us support our partner projects at a time when their need is greater than ever.
