Workshop to create a new tool of communication about the Aid to the Children of Gaza

Please post here your suggestions, materials like pics and addresses you want to appear. I will create the tool for that. After you can embed it where you want and use it with children of your countries if you are teachers... we need in many languages so if you can translate in other languages, help me...

Can we understand exactly what they need the most....

Is it possible, for example, to "adopt a child" far from Gaza.... We may create many ways to give support to the children. I doubt about sending materials (clothes, toys) or even money since they live in a place so severe occupied. Thanks.

P.S. My thoughts: sending cards (if we have some e-mails from there); establish conversations periods with some kids to show that they are not alone and show that we are sending help and assistance too etc.

you're right about sending cards, i worked with the french cultural center in Gaza for the schools there, a few years ago. Children and teachers need not only money and parcels, they need strong relationships with outside countries, educational projects and so on.. So i can give here postal adresses to receive this kinf of cards, but first i need to contact my friends there. I have no idea of the exact current situation for many of them, specially my friend Zyad who managed french language department and a center for Peace in University Al Aqsa... Give me some time to get infos...

Majed in Gaza is preparing a list now of what they need. I just spoke to him on the phone.

Sure no problems - One condition though - You can use the iPeace materials as long as the message is of hope and peace (not blame or hate)

I suggest first aid kits that are simple to put together ... they are desperately needed by individuals and families who cannot reach medical facilities. They could contain the following and can be sent via the RED CROSS or the UN Relief and Works Agency UNRWA) in Gaza
