| Al-Waleed Donates SR2.4m for Palestinian Disabled |
| 2003-01-25 |
| In response to an appeal from President Yasser Arafat to help alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people, Prince Al-waleed ibn Talal yesterday donated SR2.4 million to the Palestinian Center for Human Perseverance. The money will be used to help finance the construction of the Fata Rehabilitation Center and Hospital for the Disabled in the Gaza Strip. Once it's been built and it looks nice, the Paleos can chock it full of gunnies and the Israelis will rocket it. You heard it here first... Prince Alwaleed earlier met with the head of the center, who briefed him of the centers programs and facilities which will enable it to continue delivering its humanitarian services to the Palestinian people. The head expressed gratitude on behalf of the Palestinian people for Prince Alwaleeds many contributions to the Palestinian cause. The Palestinian Center for Human Perseverance is a non-governmental, non-profitable establishment established in 1999. I do web development on the side. That's a non-profitable establishment, too... Its main purpose is to offer medical services to families within the Palestinian community. It also offers cultural, educational, social and psychological services to the public. |
