Tuesday 13 August 2013 Humanitarian site visits in West Bank and Jerusalem


Ephpheta School for the Deaf in Bethlehem, West Bank. They teach lip reading rather than signing. With signing, they must have an interpreter, but they are more independent with lip reading.

Orthodox Sports Club in Beit Jala near Bethlehem.  They provide a day care center.  You can see some of the children sleeping. The owner said the separation wall was started in 2003 and is 140 kilometers long.

Linda with Khader Abu Abbara discussing school kits for the children around Bethlehem.

 
Nora Kort led us to the Arab Orthodox Society medical clinic in the Old City.

Nora Kort provided a full meal for us at a restaurant she started to help women learn to cook.
