Support for UNRWA’s COVID-19 Educational Response

Thanks to our wonderful donors, Playgrounds for Palestine was able to use some funds to support the UNRWA’s response to COVID-19 in the Gaza Strip for education. Children were able to return to schools in Gaza the week of August 8 through UNRWA’s efforts.

UNRWA gave a shout-out to Playgrounds for Palestine on their facebook page to thank our incredible supporters for PfP’s contributions! Click here for the link to the video!

Reuters published an article earlier this week about the return to school in Gaza: Children walk back to school after five-month shut-down, by Reuters. 

Thank you again for all of your support, making PfP’s contribution to the continuation of UNRWA’s education services for Palestine refugees in Gaza amidst the COVID-19 pandemic possible.

We wish you all health and safety!

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.
