Supporter Honor Heindl is offering this set of four note cards (with a line of Palestinian poetry inside) that she designed for any donation of $50 or more.
From Honor:
"I had the privilege of hearing Abuna Elias Chacour speak in Minneapolis during my undergrad studies and have followed Pilgrims of Ibillin and the work they do to foster peace and reconciliation in Palestine and Israel ever since. Abuna Chacour’s books (Blood Brothers + We Belong to the Land) offer a glimpse into what sparked his hunger for justice and planted the seeds that eventually grew into the interfaith Mar Elias K-12 schools. My mom and I planned to visit their educational institutions and partner NGOs in April, but that was unfortunately postponed. So, in an effort to find a way to remind those students and families that they are precious and loved and not forgotten, I would like to raise funds for the crucial work they do.
Through education, Pilgrims of Ibillin and MEEI are challenging the status quo and empowering young minds and hearts with hope, courage, and skills to build a better world. They remind us that compassion is a form of resistance and understanding is another word for love."
Honor will send you a set of cards and a lino print with your $50 or more donation. She will cover the cost of materials while $10 of each donation will go toward postage, the remaining will go to Pilgrims of Ibillin.
Send an email to Honor (click that link to open an email) with your name and shipping address, and she will mail you four 5x7” folded cards with envelopes and an 8x10” lino print. She can accept a venmo, zelle, and apple pay.
Thank you Honor for this creative fundraising idea and
your beautiful art to support an education steeped in peace, justice, reconciliation, forgiveness, respect and dignity for all God's children.
