Our beloved Awdah was taken from us too soon, but his vision and commitment to Umm al-Khair live on. As his family and community, we are determined to continue the projects he began and to stay connected with friends and supporters around the world. Here you’ll find ways to remember Awdah, support his family, and carry forward the work he dedicated his life to.
Hello dear friends of Awdah,
We are writing to you as the family of Awdah and community of Umm al-Khair. First we want to thank you all for the support and solidarity in these weeks since our beloved Awdah was murdered.
We don’t know what to say – there is too much. But it is very important to all of us that we continue the important work that Awdah was doing with all of our friends around the world. We want to stay connected and continue the important projects in the community.
Please add Khalil to your list of contacts from Umm al-Khair. Khalil is Awdah’s brother and the head of the Umm al Khair council, and he is available to continue discussing Awdah’s projects and visions. He can be reached at: +972 50-480-4965 or khaleelmoh989@gmail.com
We also have a fundraiser for Awdah’s family and the community here: https://secure.everyaction.com/LYmVAbNl2UOxgBcaP1mkFA2
The guest house is still open, and Hanadi – Awdah’s wife – continues to run it. We are ready to welcome visitors, and as Awdah would say – you are welcome anytime.
