This small UK charitable trust was formed in 2015 by volunteers who help with the annual Palestinian olive harvest. The volunteers have witnessed the ever-increasing violence of extremist Israeli settlers towards Palestinian farming , and also noticed the severe under-funding of the local schools.<\/p>\n

The village schools in Burin, Madama, and Urif, which benefit from the charity, are themselves often the target of settler attacks. The children live in a permanent climate of harassment and fear, often leading PTSD and vastly impaired education.<\/p>\n

The Trust has raised money for books, scientific equipment, lap-tops, a school farm, a school orchestra, a protective playground wall, and other small but important projects which give the children and teachers much needed practical support as well as boosting morale.<\/p>\n
