- Notes
- The Rev. Andy Bowerman of Anglican Alliance spent a day in the Za'atari Refugee Camp in Jordan while on a recent visit to the Middle East. The camp, which is now the fourth largest "city" in Jordan currently houses over 170,000 Syrian refugees. "Since 2013 the Holy Land Institute for the Deaf (HLID) has run a centre for children with disabilities in the Za'atari refugee camp. Children with disabilities become some of the most vulnerable people in the camp and the centre has helped support more than 3,000 children, together with young and elderly people with hearing, visual or mental disabilities". "Andy met HLID Director Brother Andrew L. de Carpentier, who launched the Disability Center with support from Episcopal Relief and Development and other organisations".
