Palestinian Refugee Camp

On Wednesday we went to a Palestinian refugee camp in Jerash to deliver winter coats and blankets to the poor.  Everyone had a good time.
LDS Charities donated 750 winter coats, hats, gloves and socks for children.
United Muslim Relief donated 600 warm blankets--2 for each family.
The community center was full of people--parents, children, some dignitaries. 
  So was the Jordanian police.
Every child was given a bag with his name on it.
Candy and toys were distributed as well.  No toy guns allowed.
An elderly woman received a bright red fleece lined coat.  
A little girl was given a bright red jacket to keep her warm this winter.
A father brought his son....
A boy brought his sister....
We are so grateful to the many good-hearted people around the world who donate to the humanitarian fund.  They are the ones that make projects like this happen.  

". . . they brought their little children. . . and the angels did minister unto them."  3 Nephi 17:11, 24
