I turn to you again, as past years, to help in oil selling. A number of Palestinian families in different areas are facing terrible living circumstances, making their life sometimes inconceivable and increasingly miserable and ongoing tragedies and what makes their situation worst is heavy financial commitments such as electricity ..water invoices also teaching ..food expenses and other necessities like medicine...milk powder ..clothes; but resources are lacking. Indeed I witness with great sorrow their condition during my field work as facilitator for Palestinian NGOs in varying activities among them women empowerment and raising awareness of civic education ,,democracy... especially in RAMALLA..NABLUS ..SELFEET TULKAREM villages. >From the beginning, while discussing these issues, I noticed deep sighs of sadness because of their situation but lately they informed me frankly: its difficult to deal with you and to concentrate on civic education workshops under heavy financial problems. After long discussions of this problems, we together reached to the following conclusion: The most active way to solve part of these problems is to sell their olive oil produce. Worth mentioning: they lost many olive trees in the building of the separating wall upon their lands. So I decided to turn to Israeli friends whom I know are willing to cooperate with them to help in this human crisis by buying olive oil produced by these poor ..needy families. The families are ready to sell 1 litre of regular oil by 45 NIS; 1 litre of cold pressed olive oil by 55 new NIS Please distribute this email to friends Transferring olive oil can be arranged by calling me on the following numbers: 0546179703 or 0599798319 Contact person Tel-Aviv area: Aliya Strauss 03-6589983 mstrauss@012.net.il Be well Thanks in advance Abed Links to the latest articles in this section Israelis support Russian opposition to the Ukraine War All to Burin this Friday!
