Aida Camp Outreach

This Fundraiser has now ended. Much love to you all.

Aida Camp is one of many refugee camps located in and around what we know as the Holy Land. 

Aida Camp was established in 1950 on land the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA ) leased from the government of Jordan. 

The camp is located between the municipalities of Bethlehem, Beit Jala and Jerusalem. It is partially surrounded by the West Bank Barrier Wall  There is a constant military presence and is very close to the main military checkpoint between Jerusalem and Bethlehem. This camp is vulnerable to a number of concerns including regular incursions by the Israeli military, clashes involving camp residents, many of whom are children,poor access to education,health care and employment. 

In the Camp there is a group known as the  NOOR Women's Empowerment Group. Working from a center that teaches cooking classes as a source of income to operate, they focus of community needs, and especially advocating for the rights of disabled children. 

These 8 X 10 paintings of our Newfoundland Capelin are being offered as a small way of bringing love encouragement and support to this brave group from afar.
