BUILDING HOPE: VIDEO HERE
Palestinian children like any others want to explore the world and meet other young people. But they are living under military occupation and grow up confined between separation walls, Israeli settlements and military checkpoints. They have constant pressure from the presence of military camps and the knowledge that their friends have been imprisoned, wounded and even killed by Israeli soldiers and settlers.
Youth visits give young Palestinians the opportunity to meet young people from the UK, share experiences together and tell each other about their lives. This is part of CADFA’s work of raising awareness of the situation in Palestine and encouraging people to work for human rights.
Throughout Covid, CADFA has helped schools and youth clubs to link together on Zoom. Now travel is possible again, we plan to bring Palestinian youth workers and young people to the UK this summer to visit schools and youth clubs, play sports and exchange stories.
This will be a window on the world for these young people and a window on Palestine for everyone they meet. In a very difficult time it will build hope.
Please help us make the visits happen – we need fundraisers, donations and volunteers
Here is our crowd funder – please help if you can.
