We received a letter back from the School Principal:

Dear Rev. Bliss,
Dear Friends at the St. Peter and St. Paul Church,

Today is a happy day in Atfaluna Society for Deaf Children. Happiness is rare in the Gaza Strip. Through you we have been able to feel this happiness. Today we distributed the presents which you kindly sent to our deaf children. Everyone in the distribution party was overjoyed to see how your humanitarian contribution to the deaf children clearly put smiles on the children's faces. We are all very grateful to you and we look forward to seeing you soon.

Kindly see the attachments which include some photos of the children receiving and opening their presents and four thank you messages from the kids and the teachers.

God Bless you and Merry Christmas,

Naim Kabaja
School Principal
