Organization Name:  Adopt-a-Refugee Program
Organization Overview:  How would you like to wake up one day, and discover a letter on your doorstep threatening to kill you if you don’t leave the place your people have called home for thousands of years? How would you feel about having your business, home, or church bombed? What if your sister was kidnapped, raped, forced into marriage or murdered, all for being Christian? What if you were a part of this modern-day genocide? The turmoil in Iraq & surrounding areas has taken a toll on more than 50,000 families, which are comprised of mostly Christians, including Assyrians, Chaldeans, Syriacs, Armenians, and other ancient and historic cultures dating back thousands of years. These refugees are being singled out, persecuted, kidnapped, raped, and even murdered because of their religious beliefs. They have no where to call home, and are forbidden to work, forcing young women into prostitution starting as young as 9 years old. "There are many ways to help, and 100% of your donations go directly to a family in dire need of help, and hope. There are many ways to help our cause." The Adopt-a-Refugee Family program has been successfully working with the Jesuits to aid these refugees for years. There are many ways to help, and 100% of your donations go directly to a family in dire need of help, and hope. There are many ways to help our cause. WHO WE HELP Reduced to the status of “refugee”, these displaced persons are prohibited from working, going to school, worshipping… and are prevented from living their normal lives. Not only have they lost their homes, their jobs, and their livelihoods, but their food, water and other basic necessities have become exceedingly scarce. Entire families, children, infants, grandmothers… are homeless, hungry and desperate.

Organization Overview:  The mission of the AFRP is to perpetuate and promote the rich, cultural Palestinian heritage of the Ramallah family and their descendants in the diaspora – estimated at approximately 40,000 in the U.S. – by providing programs that foster cultural and social interaction, as well as educational, humanitarian, civic and charitable opportunities. AFRP Goals To perpetuate and enhance the close ties that exist among all Ramallah people through the formulation of local clubs. To instill and nurture in the Ramallah Youth in the United States their ancestral language, culture and heritage. To orient the American public with Arab culture and heritage and to promote better understanding of the humanitarian aspirations of the Palestinians in particular and the Arabs in general. AFRP History In 1952, several young students who lived in the United States wanted to unite the Ramallah community in the diaspora. Their aim was to have people in the United States stay in touch with each other so that they could retain their cultural identity. They established Hathihe Ramallah Magazine with correspondences in each community so that they can keep abreast of the latest news. Within months of launching the magazine, members of the community began organizing clubs in cities where a large number of Ramallites resided. As they organized the committees they realized that in order for the committees to succeed they must put together by-laws that would guide the new entities. A decision was made to unite the community under one Federation with local clubs in each major community. On Sunday, September, 7, 1959, members of the community took the momentous decision to create a Federation and adopted interim by-laws and constitution. Today, there are 35,000 people from Ramalla living in the United States of America. They are concentrated in such major cities as San Francisco, San Jose, San Diego, Santa Rosa, and Los Angeles CA; Jacksonville, FL; Houston, TX; Detroit, MI; Chicago, IL; Washington, DC; Knoxville, TN; Lexington, KY; Greensboro, NC; Birmingham, AL; Cleveland, OH; Little Rock, AR; Buffalo and Hempstead, NY; Milwaukee, WI; and South Plainfield, NJ. In all these cities, chapters were formed making up the American Federation of Ramallah, Palestine. The Headquarters of the American Federation of Ramallah Palestine was and is located in Detroit, Michigan. In addition, the founders of the Federation resolved to have the Federation be non-profit entity with an elected executive committee. The purpose of the Federation was to organize the Ramallah communities in the United States; to use the united resources and its position as a national organization to lead and guide the people of Ramallah; to raise funds for charitable purposes which are of general welfare to the Ramallah people, and to establish better ties and understanding between the Ramallah communities in the U.S.A. and in Ramallah.
