Boots for children in Jordanian Refugee Camp


Help is needed to provide rubber boots for 3500 children at the Za'atari Refugee Camp, in Northern Jordan.  The camp is a very large enclave recently set up in Jordan to receive refugees who have fled their native Syria during the continued violence there.  The children in the camp are between the ages of 6 and 15 and do not have appropriate footwear for the cold, damp and rainy winter season which has just started.  The cost of a pair of boots is $13.50 each. Contributions may be made with a check payable to Ardmore Presbyterian Church and "children's boots" in the memo line of the check. The APC Mission Committee is also sending money to support this project.
