On Thursday, 7 March 2024, Brother Alejandro Cerna, FSC, Dean of Education, along with Dr. Rabab Tamish, Ms. Maha Sader, Dr. Hala Rashed, Ms. Paola Handal, and Dr. Anita Bright, led a poignant visit to nearby Bedouin communities.

The six faculty members were warmly welcomed into the communities and kindergartens, gaining invaluable insights into the challenges faced by these communities, particularly in education. Despite limited resources and infrastructure, dedicated teachers from struggling schools persevere in their commitment to nurturing hope in the young minds they serve.

Their encounter with the Sisters of Combini emphasized the vital role they play in providing education and support, further highlighting the need for cooperation with Bethlehem University to address these challenges and empower these communities for a brighter future. Bethlehem University stands ready to serve in any way it can to support these efforts.
