Meet PCRF Palestine Children's Relief Fund - New UDC Organization

Palestine Children’s Relief Fund is a non-profit organization who's ultimate and established mission “is to provide medical and humanitarian relief collectively and individually to Arab children throughout the Levant, regardless of their nationality, politics or religion”. As a university chapter serving PCRF, we as well “envision a world where all children in the Middle East have access to quality medical care and specialized health services” with the highest standard. It is our purpose as a student-run chapter to not only provide the financial means but also strengthen the reality of the ends. The Middle East crisis' level of significance has impacted the physical and mental lives of innocent people, especially the younger generations. Therefore, with our humanitarian identity it requires primacy and action to aid those who are in need of it, and should never observe it with indifference or apathy. PCRF at CWRU serves to expand the virtue of this foundation and guide the people who are willing to volunteer a helping hand or helping dollar.
