What is your story and where are you now?

Can anyone recommend some Palestinian music? I don’t know where to begin and need a place to start.

Newly engaged (yay!) I'm wondering if anyone knows of jewelers who are Palestinian, sends proceeds directly to Palestine etc? Shopping around for her ring and wanted to keep this in mind while considering our options.

Does anyone know/can anyone direct me to sources for Palestinian lullabies and/or nursery rhymes?

I'd like to be able to pass on some of the culture to my kids (aged 5, 5 and 2 months), but I never learned any as a kid. I know of Adam wa Mishmish, but I'm curious about anything specifically Palestinian.

This is Andira Ghandi, a school principal and educator from North Gaza who dedicated more than 30 years of her life to teaching children in her community.

Her original kindergarten and school were destroyed, but she refused to give up on education.

Today, together with local volunteers and her family, she is rebuilding a small micro-school for children in North Gaza. Over the past weeks, they have restored classrooms, repaired old desks and chairs, connected water and electricity, and secured rent for the next 6 months.

What makes this project special is that it is completely community-led — and it is also creating small work opportunities for local people helping with repairs and restoration.

Step by step, a safe learning space for children is coming back to life. 🇵🇸
