“Half of the Palestinian people are youth. We want to reach them. It is crucial that we use education as the means to stabilize the lives of young people in Palestine. They are the potential in Palestine and the future.”

STUDENT TESTIMONIES
Dar al-Kalima is a place to be more free. That's what I think is the more important thing to have in your education. How to think freely. They teach you how to prove that you can. They give us more opportunity to know the world better and to decide which way we want to go.

Dar al-Kalima was a turning point for me as a person. After 12 years of one system of education at school where you just receive information. It was time for me to express myself and to experience other subjects. Teachers at Dar al-Kalima tells you to think for yourself have your opinions, your own thoughts, and ideas.

Thank you to all of the donors that helped give us the gift of Dar al-Kalima and who continue to support the growth and vision that the alumni will be the future creative leaders of Palestine, the peacemakers, and the agents of social change.

Each and every one of you is vital to the growth and nurturing of the young creative leaders of Palestine. Without you, the opportunity for change is at a standstill.

Thank you for helping Bright Stars of Bethlehem meet our urgent year-end needs to unlock hope and give back to Bethlehem.
