Providing Hope and Opportunities for the Needy in Egypt

This is the fourth edition of the Spirit of Giving Charity Gift Catalog, created in 2003 to raise funds for the poor and suffering in Egypt.  In the past three years, a great many people both locally and abroad have contributed generously, allowing the projects described in this catalog to feed, dress, equip, entertain, educate, comfort and heal numerous needy people.  You too can make a difference and help in tangible ways by supporting these worthwhile projects.

Thanks to the hard work of our volunteers, not a piastre (or penny) of your donation goes to overhead fees.  Instead, 100% of your contribution will go directly to the projects and to the people who need it most.  All the projects are monitored closely, and when a project is completely funded, additional donations are allocated wherever the need is greatest.

Here is a simple and concrete way to give to those who have little or nothing.  By the same token, you can honor a loved one or friend by making a donation in their name.  Over and over we have heard from people presented with a gift from this catalog, that it was one of the most meaningful gifts they had received.

This year, a number of great new projects have been added.  We deeply appreciate your participation and anticipate another successful effort.  Thank you advance for your generosity.

Warmly

Rev. Paul-Gordon Chandler, Rector

P.S.  The projects in this catalog are part of long-term programs of compassionate services to Muslims and Christians alike.
