Selected letters from those whom the Tree of Life Educational Fund have touched:

My Name is Julie Ghanem. I would first like to thank you for all your support and the help you give us to stay educated. I am twenty years old and it’s my sophomore year at the University of Beth Lehem, Palestine. Currently I’m going for a Hotel Management Bachelor degree which I thought would be the best major for me. Because of the bad economic situation in the West Bank I can`t continue towards my career, therefore your help would be really appreciated. As a very responsible person, I was honored to be mentioned on the honors list for the second year in a row. I don’t want to lose my chance to complete what I started and follow my dreams. I want to help my family and all the people that look up to me by graduating and working and making a difference in this world. As a young girl and as a student, your help towards my career means so much to me and too many in our country, thank you.

It made me very glad, you made a difference in my life, because without these support, I COULDN’T continue my education at the university, because of the economic situation of my family and the siege and difficult situation that we live, thank you very much for help.
