About Me

Save Orphans: In 1962, the Islamic Charitable Society was established in Hebron city of the West Bank to take care of orphans. The Charity expanded through years to become responsible for 2 orphanages, 3 schools for boys and girls, dairy, sewing workshop, 2 bakeries, a big mall and a 30- apartment building. The 14 year old boy on the image, Siraj Mtoor, saw both his parents and another two of his family die in front of his eyes. This was due to an explosion of a bomb which was hidden in a pile of metal that was being classified by the family to sell later. Siraj and his sister, 12, were the only survivors of the family. Since then, he doesnt read or write. He doesnt know the Arabic Alphabet, though he is in the 7th grade. He is always sad and alone. Teachers at his school and orphanage have started teaching him from the very beginning. He is respondidng to them.
