We- Tartous habitants-
represented by a number of young volunteers from
unisex, different ages and social classes , kindly
ask you:
To support our project which
aims at saving Amrit through asking help from
organizations or private companies whether they are

removing mold and harmful
grass that are surrounding the Olympic stadium,
Amrit temple, and the port…….
2-
Providing the volunteers team
with the needed equipments or paying their costs by
the donors.
3-
Buying tents for the
residence of the volunteer guards that will be
spread along the specifies area of various dangers
like robbery and violations of the registered and
non registered sites.
Your support to our request means your assurance in
committing the policy of keeping the cultural and
civilized heritage in Syria .

We shall contact some private
Syrian companies for collecting some donations for
financing this project.
We need your support in asking
the General Organization of Radio & TV to make a
reportage about the city and the abuses that is
suffering from. Beside asking the responsible
sectors to act now for fact finding.
Our campaign requires wide
coverage of posters on roads addressing Syrians
through putting an announcement for helping in
saving Amrit as “Sewar Tartous for advertisement”
by Noujoud Hussein’s speech asking the Arab
organization of advertisement for giving the
required support like providing these posters 2
weeks for free or presenting a big discount for
covering the needed expense of this project due to
our limited possibilities.
We have to say Mr. Minister
that our trust in you is so big to contribute
together in keeping our cultural identity.
Volunteers team in Tartous
