Work begins on the Library project at Dir Ammar Refugee Camp in Ramallah

BRTI is pleased to announce that work has started on the Library project at Dir Ammar which the people of Birmingham have very generously supported.  This has been through a combination of donations, Falafel Evenings and a Nasheed Competition.  We are also grateful for a very generous donation from the Sultan Bahur Trust.  The first phase of the block work is complete.
