Endorsement Syriac Orthodox Patriarch
In response to the WCA Mission, H.H. the Syriac Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch and All the East, Zakay I Iwas, stated in August 2009 in Damascus (see minute 3.14 of this video):
"We are most willing to cooperate with and ready to support the Syriac Universal Alliance with all we can. For we are proud of this organization, its name and work." [For our name change, click here]
Support WCA and its work
There are a number of ways you can help WCA with your support. One of them is financially. Financial support is crucial for WCA as we operate on a non-profit basis and we have many and wide-ranging expenses to finance WCAʼs activities across the globe.
WCA will try as much as possible to make all the activities self-funding. However, this is not always possible and your help will be necessary to make ends meet. WCA promises in return to be fully transparent about all the support received and what WCA does with it in the annual financial report, validated by external auditors to comply with the highest standard possible of transparency.
If you feel that supporting WCA is something you would like to do, then first of all we want to thank you. Every penny is needed and appreciated. This can be done through either a PayPal payment or a bank-transfer to our bank account.
