Press Release
Christians in the Holy Land receive support from Trinity School pupils
25/02/2011 9:00 am
Pupils in the lower sixth at Trinity Catholic School in Leamington have followed up a recent talk on the plight of the Christians in the Holy Land by filling olive wood crib money boxes and presenting a donation to the Friends of the Holy Land at their National office in Kenilworth.
Vice Chairman of the FHL, Peter Rand, said: "It is very encouraging to see pupils recognising the challenges of the Christians in the Holy Land. Whatever our hardships in the UK, the situation in the Holy land is much worse".

Notes
The Friends of the Holy Land (FHL) was established in England and Wales in 2009. It is a registered charity and assists the Christian Community in the Holy Land.
The objectives are to raise awareness of the difficulties experienced by the Christian Community in the Holy Land, to encourage prayers to be offered for their intentions and to generate and channel financial resources to provide them with a sustainable future.
Financial support is provided to Parishes and Schools and families within the Christian Community to enable them to live a fruitful and rewarding life in their homeland.
This is carried out through funding for Parish activities, assistance to Schools, financing small self-help projects in the community and providing humanitarian aid to the needy.
This is all achieved with the backing and blessing of the Catholic Bishop’s Conference of England & Wales. The FHL is non-political.
