Celebrating 20 Years of Making a Difference
The Raymond Davis Foundation exists to stem the exodus of indigenous Christians from the Holy Land and to preserve Christianity in the land of Christ. We promote education, healthcare, and civil society in areas of the Holy Land and Middle East where there are Christians who seek better lives and opportunities for their families and communities. Our donor-based humanitarian programs are designed to help Christian families not just remain and survive in the Holy Land, but flourish.

Thank you very much for choosing me for your scholarship! It means a lot! It helps my family so much, and makes me feel special and proud. Because of your support I won't be moved to a government school, I can stay in my school, and I can come to school every day with everything I need. In the future I want to be a doctor so I can help people and make them feel better. I will study hard to make my parents proud. I hope you will be proud, too.

I am truly honored and thankful for being given this amazing scholarship. The school has shaped the way I learn and has guided me towards a better educational ideology in history, chemistry, math, Hebrew, and Arabic. This opportunity has given me a chance to further educate myself in many aspects that I had never experienced before and has helped create a more just plan to continue my journey towards my desire of studying in law school. Please accept my heartfelt gratitude for sponsoring my tuition fee.

As a senior high school student graduating is approaching just too quickly. I'm filled with a mix of emotions—excitement for the future, a touch of sadness for the memories I'll leave behind, and immense appreciation for the incredible journey I've had at the Orthodox School of Bethany. Your kindness has played a significant role in making the experience so special, and I truly appreciate it.
