To the matter at hand,

 In re: More information about the [ Bethlehem] Orphan Care Society
Began operations: 1.1.97
Mr. Nasri ‘Abadah [the Society’s director] placed a request for a permit on: July 28, 1997.

A formal permit letter from the Ministry of the Interior, including a [n official] list of the Society’s employees, was published on September 4, 1997.

[The aforementioned] lodged a request to buy a tax-exempt hearse on March 23, 1998; the request was granted.
The official permit to establish the Society was given by [the Office of] Institution Security on December 29, 1998.

[The aforementioned] has now lodged a request with the Ministry of the Interior regarding a project [for establishing] a bakery for the Society.

The Society enlisted many contributions from within the district and from outside. There would clearly seem to be a great willingness among the citizens to [materially] support the institution because of the humanitarian slogans it both utters and applies: care for orphans and needy families and the financing of various humanitarian actions.

[What follows is emphasized in the original:]
Enclosed for your honor is the Society’s charter.
[The same is true for] a copy of its registration certificate.
[The same is also true for] a table showing the [ Bethlehem] Orphan Care Society’s general budget for 1997, with appendices.

 [End of original emphasis.]
