Dear Friends,

In the aftermath of the war, the situation remains difficult… In the face of this reality, we at the Crèche in Bethlehem continue to uphold our social and professional traditions and pursue our mission of protection and care with determination, just as we always have. In fact, our mission has expanded to meet the growing needs of vulnerable children whether abandoned or deprived of a family environment both within the institution itself and through the services of the Social Services Department of the Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent in Bethlehem. Travel between cities in the West Bank remains extremely difficult due to the many checkpoints and roadblocks that isolate them from one another. This reality has even affected the arrival and admission of some children, as well as unmarried pregnant young women. Some of these women were referred to us by official authorities and we were able to welcome a few of them to provide the care and support they need – like the five sisters from the same family in the northern region, and other similar cases. Thanks to God and all the friends of the Crèche, we continue our mission and ensure the best for our children, even to spoil them a little. Let us pray together for peace throughout the world… Our next collection will go to support the work of the sisters in these tragic times. Please also pray for them and the children.

Many thanks Angela
