Ahmed Abu Salama and his mother have been in Madison for six months while Ahmed received medical care. That treatment is now completed and they will be returning to Gaza the weekend of November 20.

Stop by any time for light snacks, cake and refreshments. There will be a short program at 7:30 pm. There will also be a book for well-wishes, pictures and signatures, but we ask that you NOT bring gifts since they have luggage limitations.

Donations will be gladly accepted for the Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF), which brought them to Madison, and for the Ronald McDonald House, which was so generous with their space and staff.

If you have any questions, please contact Donna at 235-7870 or dwallbaum(at)gmail.com.
