Your kindness and generosity have been a light in times of
challenge.
This year, more than ever, we pray for peace and for an end to the
difficult and painful situations that many are facing in the Holy
Land. We stand united in Christ and hope for a brighter day
ahead, where love, understanding, and compassion prevail.
May the spirit of Christmas fill your hearts with joy, and may the
coming year bring peace, healing, and hope to all.

Christmas tree
Despite the challenging circumstances surrounding
us, this year, we decided to go ahead with erecting
the Christmas tree. Diala and Christiana, full of
enthusiasm and hope, insisted on carrying out the
task, determined to bring some joy and cheer to
others. In a time of uncertainty, they believed that
the simple act of setting up the tree would not only
lift our spirits but also brighten the hearts of the
children at the school. The sight of the tree, adorned
with sparkling lights and colorful ornaments,
became a symbol of resilience, a reminder that even
in difficult times, we can still spread happiness and
warmth to those entrusted to us. Children and staff
at Kindergarten did the same.

Football Contests
To help mitigate the impact of the war on children's mental well-being, Hope School placed a strong emphasis on extra-curricular activities. Sports, particularly, is a popular activity that engages young people. In line with this, the school organized a football competition for the junior classes, ranging from grade 7 to grade 10. A school team was selected to compete against the Lutheran School team in Bethlehem. Although we lost, the event sparked enthusiasm among our students.
