Organization Name: American Federation of Ramallah Palestine (AFRP) الاتحاد الأمريكي رام الله فلسطين
Organization Overview: The mission of the AFRP is to perpetuate and promote the rich, cultural Palestinian heritage of the Ramallah family and their descendants in the diaspora – estimated at approximately 40,000 in the U.S. – by providing programs that foster cultural and social interaction, as well as educational, humanitarian, civic and charitable opportunities.
AFRP Goals
To perpetuate and enhance the close ties that exist among all Ramallah people through the formulation of local clubs.
To instill and nurture in the Ramallah Youth in the United States their ancestral language, culture and heritage.
To orient the American public with Arab culture and heritage and to promote better understanding of the humanitarian aspirations of the Palestinians in particular and the Arabs in general.
AFRP History
In 1952, several young students who lived in the United States wanted to unite the Ramallah community in the diaspora. Their aim was to have people in the United States stay in touch with each other so that they could retain their cultural identity. They established Hathihe Ramallah Magazine with correspondences in each community so that they can keep abreast of the latest news. Within months of launching the magazine, members of the community began organizing clubs in cities where a large number of Ramallites resided. As they organized the committees they realized that in order for the committees to succeed they must put together by-laws that would guide the new entities. A decision was made to unite the community under one Federation with local clubs in each major community.
On Sunday, September, 7, 1959, members of the community took the momentous decision to create a Federation and adopted interim by-laws and constitution. Today, there are 35,000 people from Ramalla living in the United States of America. They are concentrated in such major cities as San Francisco, San Jose, San Diego, Santa Rosa, and Los Angeles CA; Jacksonville, FL; Houston, TX; Detroit, MI; Chicago, IL; Washington, DC; Knoxville, TN; Lexington, KY; Greensboro, NC; Birmingham, AL; Cleveland, OH; Little Rock, AR; Buffalo and Hempstead, NY; Milwaukee, WI; and South Plainfield, NJ. In all these cities, chapters were formed making up the American Federation of Ramallah, Palestine. The Headquarters of the American Federation of Ramallah Palestine was and is located in Detroit, Michigan.
In addition, the founders of the Federation resolved to have the Federation be non-profit entity with an elected executive committee. The purpose of the Federation was to organize the Ramallah communities in the United States; to use the united resources and its position as a national organization to lead and guide the people of Ramallah; to raise funds for charitable purposes which are of general welfare to the Ramallah people, and to establish better ties and understanding between the Ramallah communities in the U.S.A. and in Ramallah.
