Gifts and cards that give twice are always
nicer to both give and to receive. Why not choose a gift or card

Spotlight: Palestine/Israel ... Oh little town of Bethlehem….
The ongoing conflict in the Middle East continues to cause human
misery and suffering, especially for little children. Tuesday’s
Child is fundraising to support a number of projects in Palestine/Israel -
Gaza, Bethlehem, Ain Karem and Bethany, all co-ordinated by the daughters
of charity. In war torn Gaza, the muslim children are starving. Fifty
of the poorest families, receive a weekly food parcel of dried foods.
These parcels are given out through the nursery schools in the area.
In Ain Karem, a centre for 60 children with severe disabilities,
from the ages of 5 – 22 yrs, the need here is basic but essential – diapers
for the children, all of whom are incontinent. In Bethany, a girls
school needs a new school bus to transport them safely to school.
The Holy Family Children’s Home in Bethlehem is a crèche
looking after 110 children, 1 – 6 yrs old either orphans or
children from the poorest of the poor families. Find
