EID 2024 Festivities in Gaza

Eid festivities in Gaza lasted all day. PfP made and served date kaak to the community and held activities throughout the day with children. There was face painting, dancing, music and more. You can see below that everyone, especially the children, had a wonderful time and made positive memories in the midst of these terrible times. Please support PfP’s efforts to continue serving the children in Gaza with activities like these. You can donate using the link below. Or you can support us by buying AIDA products, where 100% of the proceeds are used to support our programs for children.

Continuing to uplift our children in Gaza

PfP hired musicians and storytellers, along with a therapist, to visit hospitals to bring some joy to recovering children and adults alike. Children with particular psychological needs were identified and the therapist has followed up with them. Families told us how important these activities feel to them. So, thank you to everyone supporting these activities.

“After the ‘Cast lead’ attack on Gaza, PfP shared a video of the kids finally able to go outside where there still stood a (PfP) playground.  It still brings tears to think about the joy of those kids swarming the playground…  It really brought home the great work PfP does. “
