MESSAGE FROM THE SCHOOL PRINCIPAL HOLY LAND

Dear Knights of Columbus members,

Thank you for your recent education scholarship transfer of C$ 38,000.00 to pay the tuitions of needy Christian Students in the Holy Land. Your Jerusalem Students Scholarship program has an enormous effect on our school as a whole and on our students specifically.

The Scholarship that you offer to our school has helped our Christian students in many ways. The scholarship helped a lot of students in our school financially to decrease the financial burdens on their families, especially during the pandemic.

The Scholarship also encourages these Christian families to keep their children enrobed in a Catholic School and helps us as a school to maintain the number of Christian students. Thus, these students are raised and are being educated in a Christian environment. This helps a lot with ingraining the Christian teachings in the students.

That’s why, as a school, we acknowledge the importance of the Jerusalem Students Scholarship program. That is to say, we wouldn’t be able to have this number of Christian students in our school if it wasn’t for this program.

We would also lose a generation of Christian leaders in our society. Another effect of the Jerusalem Students program would be to decrease the tendency of future Christian students and their families from immigration to other countries leaving the Holy Land.

Thank you for your continued support with this wonderful program.

Sponsor the education scholarship of needy Christian students suffering from economic and other difficulties in The Holy Land. It is very affordable starting at $21 per month $250 per year. This will lay the foundation for successful Christian families that will grow to populate the area, thus strengthening the alarmingly diminishing Christian presence, which is now less than 2%. The program received the Supreme Council International Youth Service Award. Thanks to you 35 students have already graduated while being sponsored and joined universities for higher learning. Another 80 students are still being sponsored.

Choose your students, read their story and sponsor their education. Call me Bro. Hikmat Dandan, Ontario Christian Refugee Relief Director, Cell # 416-893 8060 or email me at [email protected]
