S.O.S for Refugee Camps

HUMANSERVE responded to an appeals made by the Badil Resource Centre for Palestinian Residency & Refugee Rights - based in Bethlehem.  Badil runs a program called "SOS for Refugee Camps" where they provide money for grassroots-based requests that have been put forward by committees in the various refugee camps in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

HUMANSERVE has provided $2,000 CDN in response to Badil's requests.

 

Specialized Vests for Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs)

The on-going, intractable nature of the current Intifada and the difficult and dangerous working conditions experienced by EMTs makes it extremely difficult for the PRCS staff and volunteers to provide emergency care in the field.  To help make the job of applying first aid as efficient and expedient as possible, the PRCS Emergency Medical Services has issued a request for 250 specialized and highly functional EMT vests.  These vest are weather-proof and they have multi-pockets specific to first aid/medical needs.  The vests will also carry the insignia of the PRCS for identification purposes.

HUMANSERVE has provided $5,020 CDN in response to PRCS's request and this allowed for the purchase of approximately 53 EMT vests.

 

Zakat During Ramadan

HUMANSERVE would like to thank our friends in the community who have made donations each year as zakat during the month of Ramadan.  Donations were  forwarded to the Social Welfare Department of the PRCS and used to purchase food hampers for Ramadan meals for needy families suffering through the latest crisis in Palestine.
