For several years, PWRDF has supported the al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza with surgical
equipment, improved access to health care and during emergencies. After the violence this past
weekend, its director, Suhaila Tarazi, issued an emergency appeal to support its health services in
this time of crisis. PWRDF has responded with a grant of $30,000. This grant will cover the cost
to employ six additional nurses, two doctors, five operating room specialists, one psychosocial
specialist and four cleaners to work at the hospital for the next three months.
Janette Newbombe will be setting up a display board to share information on the excellent work
that is done by this organization.

Trivia Night!! Was a resounding success: 80 eager participants displayed their vast knowledge
of miscellaneous facts, and interestingly, two tables were represented by folks from outside the

everyone who took part.
