We first started sponsoring Andrawes with a scholarship at the Terra Sancta School in Bethlehem in 2019. His family had great financial difficulties, and both parents had had heart surgeries.
As the school’s director tells us, he always worked very hard to achieve good results, and though not among the best students in his class, his commitment and perseverance were always remarkable. In 2022 he graduated.
Today he is studying at Ahlya University in Bethlehem with a concentration in Public Relations, which he has chosen for a very specific reason – his dream has always been to join the police. The selection requirements for this are quite strict, and he was afraid of not qualifying – but those fears were not realized and today, even while studying at the university, he is also serving with the police in Bethlehem, and in fact works with the nucleus that provides security in Manger Square!
Andrawes was sponsored by The Reverend LCDR Richard Inman and his wife Connie, Virginia.
Meet the recent graduates of Bethlehem University, which the Raymond Davis Foundation sponsors with student scholarships. These young women are all excelling in their career fields and spreading hope in the region.
We undertook to equip the La Salle College des Freres - Beit Hanina school with new furnishings, classroom by classroom, at a cost of $2660 per room.
