Good evening everybody..On behalf of the Palestine Children Relief Fund, I really, express our gratitudes for this invitation you gave us to allow us to outreach to the students of the AUS, and PCC members. Thanks to the AUS, and PCC Apart from that, I myself will say something out of me, not the PCRF! I was a student at AUS, was awarded for being one of the most active students 2 times in four years! I was in PCC, Student council, and so many other clubs… and I really miss it!!! yet, I am really amazed that the PCC is taking this direction to get out of the university and alley with charitable and other organizations! Hats OFF… just to let all of you to know.. PCRF, what you will know get to know, was started as an idea, of a student of a university! So, you students are a valuable potential assetIn here, I am not coming to give you another lecture, NO.. You are having enough. I am fully cognizant that AUS is fulfilling that part, yea? So, no notes! No Yawing.. I will do my best to be quick, an
PCRF is a registered non-political, non-profit, organizationwas established in 1991 by concerned people in the ME lead by Steve Sosebee & late Huda MasariSosebee. We are officially and legally registered in USA and Palestine, the U.A.E. it operates solely as an unincorporated network of committed supporters. PCRF - U.A.E. does not engage in any fund-raising activities without the formal approval of properly licensed local entities based in the U.A.E. It provides free medical care to injured and sick children who are unable to be treated locally in Palestine. It has since expanded to help children all over the Middle East. Lebanon, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan, and now we have a yamani patient planning for his treatment.Our works can be categorized into three main objectives under the umbrella of providing the needed medical treatment medical care of sick and injured children:
1,000 children, mainly Palestinian children, still, not limited to Palestinians!Children sent to all areas around the globe! North America, Europe, Chile, the Middle East and Australia for free care in cardiac, orthopedics, plastics, neurosurgery, urology, general pediatric, ophthalmology, maxillofacial, and other specialties. In here, I qoute Steve Sossebee words as he said“ we reached to a point, where PCRF is treating kids that we didn’t know, from villages we never been to, by doctors that we never met, in counties that we never visited” Children are cared for by host families, chapters and volunteers from all over the world. For each patient who is sent for treatment, a support team is formed to give all needed support. A host family is found to open the doors of their home for the patient child. As you know, the children of Palestine when they travel, they go to an almost totally different environment.
Weekly medical missions to West Bank and Gaza, since 2001 as I remember! As to be more sufficient, we arrange with our network of doctors around the planet earth, to travel to Palestine to operate surgeries, and give the needed medical specialized treatment. Each of those medical missions are formed of specialized doctors with nurses who operate as a team to offer the needed surgeries that cant be offered by the local available health services. So, can you imagine, 52 medical teams every year! 5 to 7 doctors and nurses each! Continuously, regardless of the situation!
So, we talked about Sending patients abroad for medical treatment and about the Volunteered Medical Missions. Now it is the turn for our third main type of work. It is the Humanitarian Relief Projects. As you know, it is always good and amazing to send patients abroad and to send doctors in medical missions to Palestine. Still, we are also concerns to develop and enhance the medical situation in Palestine. So, we regularly plan and implement projects accordingly. Summer camps for disabled youths: in Gaza, WB, Lebanon and Jordan!Handicapped Child Sponsorship Project: for supporters to handle the need of a child!Women Empowerment Project: to get the women work and get paid for livingEyeglasses for children: distributionWheelchair distributions: for needed patients who cant affordPowder milk for malnourished ChildrenSpecialized Mega projects: will follow next!
This is an A-Z project that PCRF dedicated to do for almost the last two years. It is the first Public pediatric oncology Cancer center in Palestine. The project scope included the actual physical building above BeitJala hospital as an additional floor. So, it started with the design, then, supervision and construction of the building as any civil construction project. then, all medical and hospital requirements as beds, medical equipments, rooms needs, kitchens, toilets, nurses and doctors room, etc etc.. 1.9 Million Dollars, privately funded by PCRF friends, supporters and volunteers!
As the pediatric cancer center in BeitJala, PCRF also had another project that was completed previously in Al MaqasedHospitasl in jerusalm, to found a pediatic Cardiac Surgery Department. That was started in 2003Over 2000 surgeries since 2003This project was and still the only of a kind in Palestine. As we always try to fulfill the needs! Now a new unit is proposed at the European Gaza Hospital in Khan Younis

-Do you think if you are getting the best of the medical services, you have no commitment for others who don’t?Do you think you can go forward in life alone? COMMUNICATING VESSLES! When you graduate from the best university in the region, and set next to another one from another university, do you think your responsibilities will be the same? NO.. Business ppl like to explain it under the topic of “supply chain management”. I am a physics bias :D-What happened in Gaza? 126 murders! 31 among them are children!!! 1037 injuries, 326 are children!!!-Your legacy in LIFE! Did you start thinking about it.. And working on it!! Your work with PCRF will keep you satisfy part of that.. And you will sleep happily at night! -And you keep in mind that PCRF doesn’t ask for much! Couple of hours of commitment is what is required! And that we will part of a team around the globe, working on saving lives. -Money from donors, we care about it, we spend it wisely! Financial awards!-Dedicated,,, working since 1991!! Huge number of patients! And still going-Transparent, just read our reports!-About Children, the Humanity cause!!-No religious, no political.. Our cause is the humanity of the children,, the Palestinian children in specific.. Those who should have gotten long time ago the equal rights of all other children! And still, this noble cause is what all nationalities and religions call for!! Still, we don’t discriminate among children, and doctors, and volunteers!!
So, PCRF is an organization that rely on volunteers.. And that is reflected on our mission! There are Critical words in this statement..Empower: to delegate tasks and responsibilities volunteers and supporters, under the supervision of PCRF. This is to maximize efforts, and maximize outcomes! All.. No racism, or discrimination against any nationality or background or religion. No place for political conflicts in PCRF!!Sick and injured… not only victims of wars and attacks. We target all Palestinian children, and expanding to the entire ArabWorld. Medicalcare: not just to be active after the children got attacked, sick or injured.. We try to enhance the medical care in order to be proactive!!Thousands of volunteers in 18 PCRF chapters, from Australia to Dubai, including Chile and the USA.No government funds are used to support our work.
