Sunrise over the ocean: Please invite your high achieving students - Ramallah Friends School I think you said in Palo Alto is considered the best school in the Middle East, drawing from many countries around, WUaS is exploring being incubated for accreditation by the University of California, and administered out of UC Berkeley

Hi Joyce, 

Greetings. Very nice to meet you this spring at Palo Alto Friends Meeting in the SF Bay Area where I enjoyed much your presentation after Quaker Meeting as well as talking with you, and also especially about Friendly-informed World University and School (WUaS) http://worlduniversityandschool.org

My financial situation is very poor presently (but I did give a small amount to Friends United Meeting for Ramallah Friends School - http://www.palfriends.org/ - after your talk near Stanford). I'd be very interested nevertheless in exploring further collaborations with Ramallah Friends School, FUM and with WUaS in the years ahead, - for online IB diplomas in other other languages, and for WUaS to receive matriculating students from Ramallah Friends School (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Admissions_at_World_University_and_School) for WUaS's free, CC, MIT OCW-centric online university degrees  - in Arabic and English both (and with other ME languages too as open wiki schools). WUaS also seeks to develop a Friendly Quaker ethos online as well. What would be the best way to proceed with communicating about some of this?

There may be financial opportunities for RFS in all of this too - and throughout the Middle East. In offering free CC online degrees, WUaS would like to begin online accrediting (on CC MIT OCW in 7 languages and on CC Yale OYC) universities in each of all countries (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Nation_States) for free CC Bachelor, Law, Ph.D, M.D. as well as I.B. degrees, with governments contributing for their students who matriculate some portion of what it costs to pay tuition to MIT, Harvard or Stanford, for example. 

WUaS is exploring being incubated for accreditation by the University of California, and administered out of UC Berkeley. 

Looking forward to meeting you again, Joyce, as well as staying in communication about this. 

Best wishes in the New Year, 
Scott

TODAY IS THE DAY!
 
Dear Scott,
As of today we received less than 44% of Financial Aid donations already allocated to needy students this year.  We have a long way to go! This is a great opportunity for you to join us in our effort to profoundly impact the lives of Palestinian youth. Remember that 17% of our students receive financial assistance. 
With this brief note I would like to remind you that your donations to the Ramallah Friends School can still be deducted from your 2015 US taxes if receives by midnight tonight.  Kindly make a donation now through our secure site by clicking here.Please consider giving – as any amount makes a difference in the lives of our precious students.
Thank you for thinking of our school and our students during this busy time. 
We wish you and your family health and happiness in the coming New Year.  We will continue to pray for peace in Palestine and around the world. 
Sincerely,
Joyce Ajlouny
Director

Joyce,

Happy New Year!

Thank you for your prompt reply. Please invite your high achieving students - Ramallah Friends School I think you said in Palo Alto is considered the best school in the Middle East, drawing from many countries around - to apply to CC World University and School for free CC MIT(OCW) online degrees at the University level, when WUaS has begun accrediting for this. 

Friendly greetings, 

Scott
