Loading ...Virtuous Run for Peace in Palestine
As millions of people in the all four corners of the world continue to embrace a solemn resolution on the Question of Palestine, as they have done for decades, on September 13, 2015, over 2000 Team Palestine runners and walkers in Palos Hills, Illinois crossed the finish line in an enduring victory high of an escalating hope for peace and freedom in Palestine.
And on this day of time in history when the dreams and hope for peace in a nation seem elusive, generations of the young and old alike whether Palestinians, Syrians, Egyptians,
Lebanese , Americans and people from all walks of life gathered to embrace their extroverted and conscience moral efforts and deeds to run for peace. Why, to preserve the families of Palestine and Middle Eastern nations.
Albeit, Team Palestine is an extension of the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF).
which was established in 1991 by a moral virtuous fabric network of humanitarian people and volunteers of compassion in the United States of America. And accordingly, as a non-governmental organization, the PCRF’s objectives are to provide efficient American medical personnel to treat difficult cases of suffering children, and train Palestinian surgeons, all free of charge. Also, to provide medical supplies and equipment to Middle Eastern regions that are in dire need of medical and humanitarian relief.
The Run for Peace in Palestine can also be viewed as a victory run with the realization that people of good intent to save the Middle Eastern people’s rights to live in a land of hope and peace in all religions of the world will continue to embrace justice with humanity.
