Dear Jennifer,

Of course I remember you. I'm so happy now because you remembered me and also my organization. I would like to thank you very much for your donation.

Eng. Said (Mayor of Rafah Municipality) called GCMHP - Rafah Center to tell them about the amount ($1000) you sent for us.

You know that we will be on a holiday for one week because of Adha Eid and for me I will travel to Tunisia on the 3rd of February. I will stay there five days but I'm not sure when I will come back to Gaza because I have to wait in the Rafah-Egypt check point for a few days.

I'm so happy to hear from you and we will keep in touch.
