UBS appeals on behalf
of Palestinian children and families

READING, England — The Palestinian Bible Society is to spend a total of US$95,700 on three programs aimed largely at children affected by the growing violence in the Palestinian Territories. The UBS Rapid Response Reserve is to make available US$50,000 to ensure that the work can start as soon as possible, but national Bible Societies are being requested to make donations to meet the full cost. UBS General Secretary Neil Crosbie paid tribute, when announcing the appeal, to the “courage, faithfulness and dedication of Bible Society staff and volunteers” in the Palestinian Territories. Labib Madanat, Executive Secretary of the Palestinian Bible Society, emphasised the organisation’s desire to convey the hope contained in the Word of God to the Palestinian people.
