Gaza Children
Hi, and welcome, I am Raafat Fried Abu Reida
Team Childhood Dreams is a Palestinian humanitarian, nonprofit, nonpolitical team that aims to help the poor families especially poor and orphans children in Gaza Strip .
The campaign aims to help the poor children and provide them with winter clothes .
Give Gaza children the gift of fun, friendship and support as they struggle to grow up under occupation
and violent internal and external conflict.
Nearly half of the Gaza Strip’s two million people are below the age of 14. These are children who have
been shaped by war; and the fear of another war. Their family’s struggle daily to put food on the table.
As well as a lack of clean water, electricity and other basic requirements of living; and a future that is at once both monotonously unchanging and fraught with uncertainty.
These stresses not only impact the children directly, but also indirectly through parents and siblings. Too
often, depression, anger and anxiety are projected onto others in the form of verbal, physical or sexual
abuse. Bullying has become a common way to respond to tension, while others withdraw deep within.
Complicating this all is a culture that rejects any perception of weakness.
Gaza children need a safe place to express themselves and explore alternative ways to process the world.
We want to use cinema and facilitated discussions as the vehicle, but we need your help.
