Salaam from Bethlehem. For the past two weeks, we have been living under a strict 24-hours curfew imposed by the Israeli army that has reentered Bethlehem. Yet, many of our staff members have been trying to come to the office to do all that they can to keep hope alive, living up to our motto: “Destruction may be, Continuity shall be”.

Dear Friends
