From Jehan Helou
​

Your support and solidarity of USBBY are very needed. I really appreciate it how you cemented the spirit of genuine humanity and solidarity in the mission and activities of USBBY. We need a world that restores a humane face! Are we dreaming?

I never doubted that USBBY will continue the twinning relation with Palestine and the other partners; the seeds of solidarity and humanity are now deep rooted in USBBY vision and culture.

You put your hand on a very necessary issue to address. It is essential to restore and improve the” ongoing communication with our partners including frequent updates on the activities that can be shared on a regular basis with our members …”.  I join your excitement; we will try our best to deliver!

Children in Crisis two libraries in Gaza are a real success story in the besieged and tormented Gaza. We are trying to minimize spending though it is really very minimal and humble. We have a little savings and try to raise some money from friends and family, but this is not sustainable. We really worry if we cannot continue with these very needed libraries. Any core budget to support them is vital and appreciated.

I attach our last biennial report and hope to send another report before June 15th, or any important updating.
