In Honor of Amal's beloved mother Nazmieh Aziz Khoury Atieh

Our dear friend Amal will be moving away from Central Pennsylvania soon, to join her husband Michel in California where he now works. The Jubran family has lived here in Central Pennsylvania for many years making many good friends, and the Jubrans will be very much missed!

As many of you know, not long ago Amal lost her beloved mother:

In Honor of Amal's amazing & very much beloved mother Nazmieh Aziz Khoury Atieh, a Palestinian Christian born in Fassouta village in Upper Galilee, who passed away earlier this year

& in honor of all Amal Atieh Jubran's own warmth, loving work and steadfast dedication and decency in doing all she can to help the people of Palestine, as well as all Amal's many efforts to help educate America as to the truth about Palestine ....

Amal's friends ask that all who want to honor these wonderful women of Palestine- these gentle but strong and noble Christian heroes-

The church (MILKITE CATHOLIC CHURCH FASSOUTA, P.O.Box 657, FASSOUTA, ISRAEL ) The church desperately needs funds for renovations and improvements. Amal will be moving, so it would be easiest not use her address to collect donations for this village church- but if you see her before she leaves, please personally give her any donations you might be inspired to make to help this church (& community) that buried her mother with such dignity, grace and compassion, so that Amal may donate all offerings to this church in honor of her mother, may she rest in peace.

And remember that every little bit- and every effort made- counts more than you can ever know...

Nazmieh Aziz Khoury Atieh
born in Palestine November 12, 1928
died Feb 17, 2007
