Letter from the Chairman
Assalamu Alaikum; peace be upon you.
We pray that this finds you and your family in the best of health and iman, insha'Allah.
As the blessed month of Ramadan draws to an end, we take this opportunity to thank you for your kind support and overwhelming generosity. In just three weeks we raised a phenomenal amount for Palestinians in need, alhamdulillah.
As you join your families and loved ones in joyous celebration this Eid, here at Interpal we wish to extend our warmest blessing to you, our donors, who enable us to continue our life-saving work and on-going efforts to lift Palestinians out of poverty; whilst bringing hope into the lives of thousands in the places that we work.
Eid Muburak!
Yours in Islam,
Ibrahim Hewitt
Chairman of the Board of Trustees

Interpal's trustees and staff are saddened to hear of the untimely death of Samira, wife of our Palestinian Ambassador, Professor Manuel Hassassian. All of us who met and worked with her learned much from her warmth and commitment. She will be laid to rest in Palestine, insha'Allah. Our sincere condolences go to Ambassador Hassassian, Samira's two daughters and son, her grandchildren and all her family and friends. |

Would you like to donate money to charity, without giving a penny?
We have stumbled upon what has to be the laziest way to donate money to charity - and what’s more it’s free!
A long-term supporter of the charity has come forward and offered to match every “Like” of the new Interpal Ramadan 2011 Facebook page with £1. But there is a deadline – the end of Ramadan!
Yes it’s true!
This means that by simply hitting “Like”, you are automatically giving £1 to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, West Bank, Lebanon and Jordan.
The Vice Chairman of Interpal explains,
“We were surprised by the generosity of this donor, but are really grateful. Interpal strives to raise awareness about the Palestinian cause - the largest refugee crisis in the world - and Facebook is a great tool for this. Also, of course, we are hoping lots of people “Like” the new page so that we can raise funds for our work.”
The donor, who wishes to remain anonymous, states that having supported Interpal for many years, he now wants to do something more:
“I’d like to inspire others to support Interpal and the Palestinian cause. This charity is doing literally life-saving work. I’d like more people to know about it.”
So what a great way to raise awareness about the struggle of many Palestinians, encourage people to get involved and raise money!
For every person who “Likes” the Interpal Ramadan 2011 Facebook page by September 1st 2011, £1 will go directly to Palestinians. We are aiming for 200,000 supporters by September.
