Al Basma Special Rehabilitation Centre is a place where young adults with learning disabilities can go during the day for training in valuable life and work skills. The center is in Beit Sahour, just East of Bethlehem in an area renowned for its olive wood carving.
The center was founded in 1987 and served just 5 clients when it first opened. Since that time it has grown considerably and now serves 36 young adults aged from 12 years old and up
Clients at the center work during the morning to produce the craft products sold in the center gift shop. Making these products gives the clients work experience and the opportunity to contribute to the running of their organization. The center produces hand-made paper and woven rugs. MVPC teams have made multiple trips to the center to see the work, encourage the leadership, and discover who we can continue to help meet the needs of Special Needs adults and children.
How can a member of MVPC be involved in the mission effort with the partner?
