Cooperation With Belgium

On Thursday, 19 February, Mr. Yves Couvreur, Head of Belgian Technical Cooperation, visited Bethlehem University, along with Ms. Mona Matta, Senior Program Officer. This year Belgian Technical Cooperation implemented the Local Scholarship Program funded by the Government of Belgium, which provided 26 scholarships to needy students at the University. This contribution is assisting the University in its capacity building efforts for Palestinian youth.

Mr. Couvreur and Ms. Matta met Brother Vincent Malham, President-Vice Chancellor; Brother Jack Curran, Vice President for Development; and the Bethlehem University students receiving the scholarship. The students thanked the Government of Belgium for its help, without which they could not have pursued their higher education at Bethlehem University.
