| Since its formation in 1984, CNT’s mission
has been to advance the education of young people in the Holy Land of
Palestine and Jordan. Working closely with the Latin Patriarchate, we have
already been able to help provide for the needs of many students who would
otherwise struggle to achieve an education. The Patriarchate is
responsible for 900 teachers and 15,000 students in 34 schools in Jordan
and Palestine. in 2002, the Trust launched a special Education Sponsorship
programme to direct your funds to the most needy schools of the Latin
Patriarchate in Palestine and Jordan, to help students
to build a better future for themselves and their generation. In order to provide targeted assistance, the Trust agreed to form special relationships with the Fuheis
school in Jordan, the
Amman Hashimi school, also in Jordan, and the
Beit Sahour School in Palestine. We were delighted,
however, when (at the end of 2004) Fr Hanna let us know that the Fuheis
school had become able to support itself entirely from student fees and
other resources. We have, since then, redirected the funds that had been
earmarked for Fuheis to Zerka Nord school, which is located in a very
poor area in Jordan's second largest town. A project to provide a new
computer suite there for school students and young adults was completed
in December, 2005. |
| To enhance communication and understanding
between teachers and students in England and the Holy Land, the Trust is
sponsoring a "Twin Schools" programme
between Thomas Aquinas Primary School in Bletchley and the Amman Hashimi
School. |
