Help leading to hope
Tamer married with a family was forced to leave his work. He was selected for the program started working in an organization for people with special needs. Both Tamer and the director enjoyed working together and his life was completely transformed. We continue to pray for Tamer and his wife and children. The director of the disability organisation is currently considering employing him even after the program ends.
“Thank you for providing us with warm meals. With the ongoing conflict, we do not have the luxury of having such meals.”
