THE CHILDREN OF PEACE SCHOOL
Our followers may recall the proposed Children of Peace School in Rafah, southern Gaza. Amazingly the building still stands and is functioning as a shelter.
But there is some brightness. More than forty West Bank Palestinian families got a Summer fun day out in August, away from the troubles. An annual event made possible with a Children of Peace grant.
As this cruel and bitter war between Israel and Hamas lingers on, the collateral damage is palpable. Over 43,000 have died in Gaza. Over half are women and children.

Children of Peace is a non-partisan charity organization for Israeli and Palestinian children, aged 4 – 17, and their communities. Our aim is a shared spirit and well-being through arts, education, health and sports. Working for peace, building trust, friendship and reconciliation. So future generations might live peacefully side-by-side. We don’t take sides.
