The Palestinian Cyclists Club 

As the news about initiating the Palestinian Cyclists
Club PCC  Siraj Center has been receiving with Joy
messages from many young Palestinians both males and
females requesting to join the PCC from all over
Palestine.  Many international friends of Palestine
have been also expressing willingness to participate
in delivering the PCC to the state or readiness by
participating with their expertise in their training
Palestinian Cyclists and by providing the material
needs for the Club.  Some have been designing logos
other have been busy thinking about the suitable name
for the newly emerging youth organization.  The dream
is becoming a reality.  More members are welcomed and
further support is needed.
