Pro Terra Sancta Association (ATS) - Bethlehem
"Faith is alive at work."
YOUSEF ABU ZULOF
ATS employment project participant
"The association Pro Terra Sancta has not only taken into consideration ordinary people, but also people with disabilities. This is really nice, because we are really 'one family'."
YOUSSEF ABU ALZULOFF
ATS employment project participant
"I am Yousef Abu Zulof, I am 21 years old, from Beit Sahour. Pro Terra Sancta's project helped me find the job I wanted. I searched for a long time for a job in the fashion field and I found it thanks to this association, which helped me in two ways. First, this job helps me financially; second, I can get training in a field I am passionate about."
MAHERA GHARIB
Director of the Together for Life Hotel
"Recent graduates in our community have difficulty finding jobs; opportunities are limited. A project like this one by Pro Terra Sancta contributes to the training and employment of young people, building a future and stability for them, and also reducing the risk of emigration. We hope that projects like this will continue over time."
MAHERA GHARIB
Director of the Together for Life Hotel
"We thank God for our relationship with Pro Terra Sancta Association, Dar al-Majus, who contribute to pay the salary of three employees for six months. This helps us sustain our existence and mission as a facility that supports people with disabilities."
MARIANA ISAAC
ATS employment project participant
"I am Mariana Isaac, I graduated in accounting from Bethlehem University two months ago. This program helped me find this job, in a short time. I work in Dar al-Majus in the gift store, where we have products and artifacts created by women's employment associations and people with disabilities."
MARIANA ISAAC
ATS employment project participant
"When I sell a product made by a person with a disability, I feel very happy, because I am helping a person who cannot work easily."
MARIANA ISAAC
ATS employment project participant
"This program also helps me develop my skills and learn more about the various programs I do. It also helps me develop my personality and the way I interact with people."
NICOLE AL ZOUGHBI
Social Worker - Pro Terra Sancta Association
"We can call this project 'One Family,' since all the participants can come together, meet each other, share their experiences. For me it is really exciting, and hopefully it will continue in the future."
VINCENZO BELLOMO
Pro Terra Sancta Association - Bethlehem
"We have so many requests, so many young people coming to visit our center. The hope is that we can continue this job placement project in the coming years. For us it is also an opportunity to meet people, to enter their families, but also to support other works that do their service with so many people in the Bethlehem area."
