We are a people-to-people initiative working to link citizens in Nablus, Palestine with those in Boulder, Colorado. The groups in both cities consist of students (middle-school, high-school & university), entrepreneurs, farmers, artisans, medical professionals, professors, directors of non-profits and cultural centers, artists, engineers, yoga teachers, and so much more.
The Boulder-Nablus Sister City Project fosters relationships through cultural, educational and professional exchanges, inspiring lifelong friendships that promote understanding and peace through person-to-person “citizen diplomacy.”
Currently, we are raising funds to purchase a new fire truck for the City of Nablus. The fire truck is specially designed to squeeze into very narrow passageways that make up the four refugee camps and the Old City of Nablus.
All of these locales are routinely targeted by occupation forces who throw incendiary devices to ignite homes and businesses.
The current vehicle that serves these communities is over 53 years old and keeping it running is a very costly endeavor -- parts are scarce and it breaks down too frequently.
Can you help with a generous donation so that we can purchase a new truck for our friends in Nablus??
100% of your donation goes to the purchase of the truck -- we are 100% volunteer-powered with extraordinarily low overhead costs -- like in the 1-2% range, and these costs are easily covered by our annual membership dues.
Thank you so much for your support!!
