Dear Friends,
|
We hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving! As we prepare for Christmas, we remember that a small child in Bethlehem changed the world. Please remember that there's a child in our Holy Land today who, with some help, could lead that region toward peace.
You can make the difference. Your gift this Giving Tuesday can provide scholarship aid to a child who might otherwise receive no education. Peace begins on a school desk. Without an education, hope is hard to come by. And without hope, what can the future bring?
Change the direction of a child's life and help build hope from the ground up. Take a moment to make Giving Tuesday a day of promise in our Holy Land. Thank you so much!

Take Action

Celebrate St. Nicholas Day, December 6 or whenever you can. Visit the St. Nicholas page on our website to get hymns, pageants, recipes, costumes, all kinds of ways to make this the best inter-generational celebration ever. Request mite boxes, stickers or call us for more ideas: 203-655-3575. Link the spirit of St. Nicholas, Bishop in the Middle East in the 5th century and patron saint of needy children, with needy children in our Holy Land today. Then send your offering to AFEDJ so a child can be educated or receive needed healthcare. Capture the true spirit of Christmas.
