Success! Thank you!

Our Medical Equipment for Palestine appeal a success!

Thank you!

UPDATE, July 2018: We are pleased to report the success of our recent fundraising appeal to support eye surgery for Palestinians.

The appeal raised an amazing $35,348.58 - of which $33,708.58 went to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF) for the purchase of two phaco probes, and $1,640 to purchase extra microsurgical instruments for phaco cataract surgery. These will be invaluable in enhancing the quality and amount of eye surgery that can be carried out at Rafidia Hospital in Nablus, Palestine.

This appeal is now closed. 

From all of us here at the Australian Friends of Palestine Association (AFOPA) and our partner, the Australian-Palestinian Partnerships in Education & Health (APPEH), THANK YOU for your amazing generosity and support.

AND A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM DR FRANCIS NATHAN...

To all AFOPA members and well-wishers,
THANK YOU for your kind generosity in helping reach our target to purchase the extra phaco probes for Rafidia Hospital,
THANK YOU for your relentless support for the Eye Surgery program of PCRF,
THANK YOU for your belief and trust in the Eye team at Rafidia Hospital, Nablus,
THANK YOU for your compassion for the visually disadvantaged in Palestine,
and THANK YOU for maintaining the resistance to the Occupation!
- Dr Francis Nathan.
