Tuesday 2/11/2014 Saint George's College visited the Princess Basma Center--a rehabilitation center and school for all of the children of Jerusalem with disabilities.  Bishop Dawani joined us as we heard from the hospital's director about the ministry of the Diocese of Jerusalem through Princess Basma.  The room with the bunk beds is one used to house mother and child for 3 months while the child receives therapy and the mother learns to continue it at home.  They do so much with so little.  Their school teaches grades K through Middle School, some 600 students, in an environment that integrates children with disabilities into the mainstream classroom.  The center's hydrotherapy facility is closed due to the lack of $4500 per month to heat the water--sad.  It was a very moving day!
