WELCOMES YOU TO
ST. NICHOLAS DAY ACTIVITIES and MATERIALS

Join the spirit of St. Nicholas, patron saint of needy children, with needy children in the Holy Land today. 
Shift your focus to a more meaningful holiday season with help from AFEDJ. 

We raise awareness and funds to provide scholarships, healthcare and basic services for children and their families who struggle in a hostile and dangerous land.  Reach out to your brothers and sisters by celebrating in their honor and sending the proceeds of your ingathering in time for Christmas. The children of the Holy Land will be grateful.

Families desperately need help with school fees, books and transportation to school.  The schools themselves need computers, libraries, and teacher salaries.  Episcopal schools provide quality education to all regardless of religious, ethnic or economic background.   Families depend on Diocesan hospitals and clinics, and many children receive hearing aids, leg braces and glasses as a result of your gifts.  Please support these faithful custodians of the Holy Land.  Christian presence depends on you, and the children of the Holy Land will be  grateful.
