Appeal for Children in Gaza

 I just saw the poster for this event today.

It's at the Parish Hall on Saturday 2nd December, from 3pm to 8.30pm, and the suggested entry fee is a £5 donation.

In fact, it's several events rolled into one.

From 3pm to 3.45pm, there will be a guided meditation with Graham from River Flow Yoga.

From 5pm to 6pm, there will be a presentation on the Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Israel and Palestine, with Neil Stone, who is a member of the organisation.  There will be a Q + A session after the talk.

Then from 6.30pm to 8pm there will be a screening of a documentary about how violence has transformed the lives of ten Palestinian children after the 2014 war.  There will be a discussion afterwards.

In between these events, there will be art workshops for all ages, including postcard printing with Prints of Hay, a bake sale fundraiser, and stalls with educational literature and information on other intitiatives.

The poster ends by saying there will be zero tolerance of any kind of hate speech, or antisemitism, or Islamophobia.

I'm hoping to get along to at least part of this event.
