Bringing Safe Drinking Water to the Children of Gaza

Thank you all who supported our event last August 2010, where we raised $4,420 for MECA's Maia water project to bring safe drinking water to a school in Gaza. We received this note and the below photos from MECA:

I've just received some photos that I wanted to share with you. They are of the children at Marah Kindergarten in Nuseirat Refugee Camp who have access to clean, safe drinking water thanks to 14 Friends of Palestine! I've also attached a few images of the installation process. The unit was completed in January 2011 but it took some time to get the photos from Gaza.

Sponsored Children

We are currently sponsoring Khitam, a little deaf girl from Gaza, and her family. Khitam has six sisters and four brothers. Her favorite subject is Arabic, she enjoys acting, and wants to be a dress maker when she grows up. Her father's income of $180 is not enough to support his family. The money we send helps pay for Khitam's basic necessities.

Feb 8, 2009 - Exciting news!

Our two contacts in Gaza, Sharon and Eva, visited our little girl whom we are sponsoring in Gaza. They visited both her home and her school. They were able to deliver  money from us.  

This is just one example, I am sure, of many, where the Free Gaza Movement has brought joy into the lives of a Gazan family.  

Sharon has written about the visit on her blog. Click here...
