Shalom#24

Our Jerusalem Branch had a service project at the Augusta Victoria Hospital olive groves.

The hospital is owned and operated by the World Lutheran Federation.  We are neighbors with them here on the Mt. of Olives.  In past years the students have helped out but this year our Branch had the opportunity.  One of their objects is to help the poor and needy Palestinians.  The olives are taken and pressed for olive oil which the hospital then sells to help their special patients who can't afford to pay their bills.
