Don't Demolish My Future


When the students of Our Lady of the Assumption School in California learned that Kahn al-Ahmar Elementary School in the West Bank was under threat of demolition, with the help of American Friends of UNRWA, they stepped up to send their support.

Khan al-Ahmar Elementary serves approximately 75 Bedouin children and is one of 18 schools in the West Bank that faced demolition orders in 2011. Already in 2012, 123 children living in East Jerusalem and the West Bank have been displaced by demolitions. Click here to say "NO" to demolitions.
