Dear Friends of Opportunity Palestine,
Our partners in Palestine have shared that they are currently living through some of the hardest days of their lives, filled with uncertainty, anxiety, and fear. In light of increased threats of violence and uncertainty caused by the US & Israel's war on Iran, our schools need help.
During challenging times, the commitment to education remains strong. Through the combined efforts of teachers, students, parents, and school leadership, education continues to move forward with a shift to virtual, remote learning.
Most classes moved online and ELCJHL teachers are putting in extra time to prepare lessons and stay connected with their students. School counseling is also available virtually for students to receive emotional support.
Severe financial struggles have compounded for families and staff of the ELCJHL schools. Many families are not able to afford fees, leading administration funds to be stretched thin. The educators, counselors and staff of our partner schools deserve full compensation as they quickly and graciously transition to online learning and continue to support students during uncertain times.
Your steadfast and urgent support is needed now as we continue to pray for peace in the region.
