Aid Proposal

Saint George Melkite Greek Catholic Church plans to establish a combined Kindergarten / Senior Citizen Center. They will be in the Church Hall. The outside of this building, the Church Hall, is completed. The inside of this building is being completed. The plan was that the Kindergarten would open in the Fall of 2006.

Now, the plan is that a combined Kindergarten / Senior Citizen Center will open in the Fall of 2007. The reason is that in the past several months, the condition of the elderly has received attention from the city officials and they wish to begin programs for this sector of the population. Moreover, Abouna Firas understands the importance of the link between the young children and the older adults.
