✨PLAY, WHILE IT CANNOT CHANGE THE EXTERNAL REALITIES OF CHILDREN’S LIVES, CAN BE A VEHICLE FOR CHILDREN TO EXPLORE AND ENJOY THEIR DIFFERENCES AND SIMILARITIES AND TO CREATE, EVEN FOR A BRIEF TIME, A MORE JUST WORLD WHERE EVERYONE IS AN EQUAL AND VALUED PARTICIPANT✨

We all have an inner child in us. And we all understand the importance of play and what it means for children. And that was even more apparent to me as a mother. And so yeah I want Palestinian kids to have that. And they deserve it. All children deserve that. susie and Hanan, speaking

The community LOVES movie nights! susan abulhawa brought a projector to Gaza when she went there and it has been a huge hit. PfP staff charge it by day, and by evening, the projector offers a small sense of normalcy and escape for people trying to survive genocide.
Play, while it cannot change the external realities of children’s lives, can be a vehicle for children to explore and enjoy their differences and similarities and to create, even for a brief time, a more just world where everyone is an equal and valued participant.
