Volgende brief kreeg ik van een Palestijn uit de Gazastrook, meer bepaald het zuiden van Gaza. Hij wil een klein cultureel centrum uitbouwen voor de kinderen en de jeugd om hun af en toe wat ontspanning te bieden. Om toch maar enigszins de levensomstandigheden te verzachten. Wie wil meehelpen of organisaties weet die hem kunnen helpen kan me altijd mailen. Ik heb zijn coordinaten.

Hello Frederic,

I'm Mr. Nafez Abu Mu'ailik, a teacher of English from Deir Elbalah Camp in the Gaza Strip. I teach English to young Palestinian refugees who lost interest in education and hope in life due to the state of war of irrition they face and suffer almost every day.

The current situation is so critical; I'm as well as other teachers are very concerned about these children because we are the first to feel their suffering and complaints. Poor people without the least of essential needs of life.
I'm forty-one years old, married and father of five children. I have a huge enthusiasm to help this sector of refugees who are the most affected by the climate of violence.

As I told you earlier in previous talks and chats that I rent a flat for teaching English. I could afford the rent wages, but the problem is with the furniture stuff such as chairs, tables, boards, kitchenware to make the place acceptable and to give them a kind of fun and entertainment.

I'm sure, Sandra, with your help and efforts this scheme can see light, it's your high time to draw the smile on those miserable refugee children who haven't done any thing wrong to be worthy of such terrible suffering.

I'm calling upon you to act immediately to help us to start working and providing lost confidence to those children who already have had a gloomy impression about this world.

Here's a list of the items needed: -

Item Price Number cost
chair 10$ 40 $400
tables 50$ 04 $200
shelves 50$ 03 $150
fridge 500$ 01 $500
heater 250$ 01 $250
copier 300$ 01 $300
-------------------------------------------------
Total $1800

I'd be very thankful and grateful to all of you and your friends who are ready to help. My high appreciation to all of you in anticipation.

Yours sincerely
Nafez Abu Mu'ailik
