Association Habibi Valtiberina - Amman

After a first period in Palestine, specifically in Bethlehem, where the Association still today supports children with physical and mental disabilities, from 2016 Habibi Valtiberina (HAVA) also works in Jordan and located in the parish church of Saint Joseph in Amman. This association supports a programme offering culinary, catering and sewing training to Iraqi Christians who have fled ISIS persecution in northern Iraq. The trainees practise their skills in a restaurant Mar Yousef located in the church complex. Amman, Jodan, December 21, 2023. Photo by Nicolas Messyasz/ABACAPRESS.COM
