Title: Jibrail Rural Fellowship Center
Description: Jibrail Rural Fellowship Center, Tripoli. Mr. and Mrs. Alter are developing their new school on the western slope of the valley opposite the old village. Girls bring part of their food supplies and small fees which enable them to "live in" as resident students. All work is done by the girls themselves to give them practical training in home-making. From the old village is but a brief ten minute walk to their new school buildings.
