Dear friends and supporters of Gaza’s Ark,

Thank you very much to the generous donors who have covered the cost of applying fiberglass to Gaza’s Ark. Now, thanks to the workers, this has been completed – see some recent photos (http://www.gazaark.org/category/ark-photo-album/).

We are ready to move on to the next stage.

Reinforcing the hull will cost $15,000 ($12,200 for the supplies for steelwork, ribs, longitudinal, deck – and $2,800 for the labour). Can you contribute?

Every $20 donated pays for one hour of work for a Palestinian who would otherwise be unemployed. $160 pays for a day’s work, and $800 pays for a full week of work, which results in a significant difference for a Palestinian worker’s family, many of whom are below the poverty line. One such worker is Sami (http://www.gazaark.org/2013/07/02/meet-the-workers-profile-sami-ali-al-goga/).
