Aileen Coleman has had a heart for Bedouins – the desert nomad peoples of the Middle East since the 1950’s. In 1965, Aileen, alongside Dr. Eleanor Soltau, founded a sanatorium for treatment of tuberculosis in Mafraq which also serves pediatric care for malnourished children.

 

Coleman’s work among Bedouin nomads has been recognized and honored by Queen Elizabeth II of England and Queen Noor of Jordan. And yet her most treasured rewards are the smiling faces of children and other Bedouins who she has been able to serve over her 50 plus years of work in the Middle East.

 

She is known to the Bedouin tribes as “The Angel of the Desert,” but prefers to refer to herself as a “Desert Rat.”

 

Aileen Coleman is the guest speaker for the seventh annual Ladies Tea and Tour at the Billy Graham Library on Saturday, April 26, 2014.

 

We are giving away two tickets this event to one deserving woman and her guest.
