John Paul II Foundation asks for help for earthquake victims in Turkey and Syria. The earthquake that has destroyed large parts of Turkey and Syria has forced many people to flee their homes and remain without access to goods and services. In the affected regions at the moment, temperatures are very low and food is lacking. In particular, the city of Aleppo, which has been tried by more than 12 years of war, is at the end of its strength. The international community is already helping those affected by the earthquake.

President Andrea Bottinelli's letter of greetings addressed to all those who contribute to the promotion of the Foundation's values and work. The "Bethlehem Reborn" Exhibition, an ideal setting that allowed us to tell the story of the Foundation for fifteen days with a rhapsodic narrative, from current economic and cultural issues to the more challenging social-religious ones with the pleasant Italo-Palestinian folk counterpoint and the sweetness of fairy tales recited to children, which I believe struck the interest if not the curiosity of many friends and visitors, has recently ended. I am sure it has not escaped anyone's notice how the events "Scientific Committee," "Foundation Day," and "Mediterranean Youth Council," gathered in the splendid halls of the Museo degli Innocenti with the participation of authoritative representatives of Arab and Palestinian diplomacy, high church dignitaries, culture, politics and the City of Florence, had a strong media and emotional prominence.
