Trustee report April 24- March 25
Two trustees and two volunteers planned to travel to Palestine (West Bankl Occupied
Palestinian Territory) via Ben Gurion airport {Israel) in May 2024 however, these flights were
Can￿lled by the airline. We rescheduled for October 2024 but these flights too were
Can￿lled - we found another a1￿ine still operating and booked flights, only for these to be
cancelled too.
This was beyond frustrating for us and forced us to find alternative ways to stay connected to
our project co-ordinators in Palestine and continue to deliver much needed projects.
We have continued to SLtpport our th￿e main areas of interest, children, women's
cooperatives, and agriculture, as well as general awareness raising projects that help
promote the positive impact our support has made.
Children have beèn adversely affected by wider political decisions regarding funding for
schools and teachers resulting in their education being severely affected. The village of Al
Masara r8quested support to provide a summer school for their children and we contributed
£2,000 to cover the teachers, salaries.
We transferred US$5,000 (converted from £) to Salfrt municipality lo support a project in the
town's Girls School. The project included clearing an area of waste ground and renovating it
into usable agricultural land for the pupils to cuttivate. manage and develop a business using
the produ￿.
We have been able to support Women's Embroidery cooperatives by purchasing their items
to sell in the UK. We have communicated with the cooperative lead to discuss unique
designs and ideas for embroidery ple￿$ that will reflect Palestinian culture. Ordinarily we
would buy these items during our visits, but because we were unable to trav81 we asked
Palestinian friends to cary them back to the UK for us.
We have also been pleased to support women's agricultural initiatives in areas of the
West Bank- Burin and Jordan Valley- see more details below.
In order for the cooperative in Tubas to use their Community Centre some repair work was
needed, this would be for the benefit of the women and children who use the facility. They
needed funds for roof repairs, so the building is watertight and secure, and they can work
from there with their cheesemaking business we previously supported, as well as other
heritage food crafts, we covered the cost of these repairs. We also provided funds for a
computer and pnnter for use by the cooperative to print labels and produce information, and
other users of the centre.
Our trusted friend in the Jordan Valley suggested supplying selected famiers with seed. This
allowed them to cultivale their land, grow valuable crops and provide an income for the local
communily. We provided funds for famiers to plant barley, chickpeas and corn.
An ongoing, and developing, agricultural initiative is concentrated in the south Bethlehem
area. This area is under threat by illegal settlers from nearby illegal Israeli settlements. We
supplied 35 farmers with 50 olive trees each- total cost £10.000. This planting is vital to

maintain a presence on the land and produ￿ an income, especially during harsh economic
times.
We heard from our contact in Burin that their women's agriculture cooperative required
support to establish fami production units that would provide an income for individual
families and the stjrplus be distributed amongst the cooperative members.
An exciting new initiative was presented to us by a film prodU￿r who wanted to establish a
Film production company. The aims and objectives of the media platforyn is to offer film
making tuition for young people, remrd the stories of local people including those supported
though our charity, and tell how their lives have been impacted by the support they receive.
We were able to provide £2,000 for the production of a film that highlighted the impact of
agricultural projects.
It was a trustee decision to fund larger projects- such as the school agricultural scheme, 35
farniers, teachers for the summer school, and a new film production company- primarily
because of the difficulties in travelling to the region, tranSfe￿ing funds and knowing the
unpredictability and instability for the communrties there. It was more sensible to COn￿ntrate
funding into these projects than spread widely across a number of areas.
We know that the political situation remains unslable, but it has been reassuring to know we
can be flexible and creative in how we operate. knowing our support continues to have a
posrtive impact for individuals and communities.
We have Continued to raise funds through donations, awareness raising events, film and
music everrts, talks, our stall, and sponsored walks. We thank each and every person who
SLtpportS LSS.
We hope the situation stabilises soon, so V￿ can plan our nexl trip to see how our projects
are developing and what else is needed. We are encouraged by working with our Palestinian
friends to leam MO￿ about their Gommunities and how they want to do their best for
everyone. We know that the challenges we fa￿ in delivering the support we would like to
give is insignificant compared to the daily difficulties Palestinians have to deal with, but this
simply drives us on lo give all we can.
