The summer of 2014 saw a seven week long war on Gaza, resulting in over 2,200 deaths. In August my Dad and I am going to cycle 474 miles over 9 days from Edinburgh to London to raise money for the Middle Eastern Children's Alliance, who are working to rebuild the lives of Palestinian children that have been devastated by war. My Dad is nearly 64 so he might have a heart attack or something. Please be generous with your donations.
The money raised will go towards:
- Direct aid including food, medicine, medical supplies, and clothes as well as books, toys and school supplies.
- Financial support and professional assistance to community organizations in the West Bank and Gaza that help meet Palestinian children’s needs, including clinics, kindergartens, counseling centers, libraries; accessible parks and playgrounds; sports teams, and dance, music and art programs
- University scholarships for Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank
- Providing clean water to children in Palestine by installing water purification and desalination units in schools and kindergartens in the Gaza Strip
