The highlights of the year have been –

JAEP has received their first legacy. Miss Ean Dolan from Attleborough Church left the project a very generous legacy in her will. Ean and her sisters were very much part of the Aves family and stalwarts of Attleborough when John was the rector.

Fund raising evening, 7th June 2013 Bishops Garden & Granary Court

Posted 7 years 1 month ago

Thank you to our patron, Bishop Graham and his wife for kindly opening their garden and offering us Granary Court for our fundraising evening. Over 100 people listened to Ben Bradshaw MP and Bishop Graham spent time in conversation about the Middle East covering a wide range of topics, from the impact of the current Middle East situation on the lives of Palestinians and especially those in the camps. Both spoke knowledgeably about the area and their fears for the future, for example the continued growth of settlements.

The purpose of the visit was to spend time with the tutors at Al Quds and Bethlehem university that I had met in November 2011, to meet the students we’re currently sponsoring. For part of my visit I stayed in IBDAA within Dheisheh. I also filmed around Dheisheh and Al Quds University so we could prepare a video to upload to the website and also show during fundraising events.

Are you in need of a challenge that helps to change the lives of so many young people?

Please continue to support us with your feedback and financial help. Because we offer sponsorship over a period of years we have to ensure we have sufficient funds to cover this entire period. We are especially looking to have more regular donors and even £3 a month will make a positive difference. Typical University tuition fees for one year in the Holy Land are £1,000.

We still wish to co-opt onto our committee a person who can lead our fundraising. Of course the more funds we can secure then the more young students we can support.

Prior to the visit, project member Samia Tabari had made contacts with Said Foundation scholars at Bethlehem and Al Quds (Arabic for Jerusalem) universities. These links with teaching staff gave the project added credibility. There was much conversation about the difference in teaching and learning in our two countries informed by their time spent in the UK studying for a PhD. As someone who has spent 25 years in education we had lots of experiences to share, Anne has built on these conversations since her return and also the invitation to return to teach at Al Quds University!
