“I was very pleased to learn about the decision of the university to waive tuition fees annually for two Palestinian students, and about the contribution of the STEPS charity to this project, among its other impressive activities. Educational opportunities are of course very limited in the Israeli occupied territories, particularly in Gaza, where the repression is severe. Young Palestinians have made courageous and dedicated efforts to overcome these obstacles, with quite remarkable success. Nevertheless, there is only so much that they can achieve under these harsh circumstances. I hope that others…will join in supporting this very worthy endeavor.”
