It is imperative we aid our siblings in Gaza, donate to The Sameer Project who are doing incredible work and need our help to continue this important and life saving work.
A big drop in donations over the last 3 weeks meant that we had to reduce water distributions by 50%, pause the grocery voucher for 110 families in our camps and stop all our music classes!
If donations don’t increase soon, we will have to reduce our food distributions as well. Please donate & share: https://t.co/1j2S3RoAgU
On @ll4gaza_ofcl- https://t.co/lCwzENvUxJ, you’ll find hundreds of verified campaigns supporting thousands of families across the Gaza Strip. Each and every one of them is in urgent need of help, especially during winter.
Just pick an appeal and donate to it👇🏻
GOAL: $300 for children's winter clothes. 🧥
The cold is harsh, and my children don't have enough to stay warm. Every $5 or $10 brings us closer to safety.
PLEASE be the reason my kids sleep warmly tonight. Your RT could be the miracle we need. ✨🙏

This is what my children Rafiq and Sila made. Is there anyone who will support them? They need you now. Please stand with them because they are children. 🙏

In December, The Sameer Project was purchasing around 80 tents a week but now we average 20 tents per week. Donations have dropped but the néed didn’t drop. Help now: https://t.co/1j2S3RoAgU
Tents can be life-saving for families living in low quality makeshift tents, with the cold wind and rain. A few hundred dollars can provide some relief and protection for those families.
On December 20th, The Sameer Project set up 5 tents in the Sabereen Camp in Khan Younis. With 9% commission, the total cost was $2,170.

The start of this video is so heartwarming seeing one of our Palestinian elders enjoying a sandwich with one of our team members. The elderly in Palestine are our pillars who we respect and serve.
On January 28th, the Translating Falasteen x The Sameer Project gave out 800 fino sandwiches that have chicken and corn to Amana Camp in Khan Younis, South of the Gaza Strip. The sandwiches made in our kitchen cost $1,458 (+9% commission).

Building the first library during the genocide
Week Six may be the busiest week. You might think it’s the most important, but for us, building and planting roots is what truly matters. This has always been the philosophy that guided our lives. This achievement and hard work are seeds planted in rock—defying pain, hardship, and every obstacle.
Among the most important accomplishments of this week: we installed all the bookshelves to hold the largest possible number of books, creating fertile ground for every seed that longs to grow freely. We also installed a projector to facilitate education for all levels, and set up a sound system so the teacher’s voice can reach every corner of the space.
Several obstacles remain, most notably the scarcity of books and the high cost of paper, which makes printing extremely difficult.
We kindly ask everyone to join us by donating or sharing the campaign, so we can purchase and print as many books as possible.
Thank you to every person who believed in us and contributed to the success of our project.

Nagham (@nghmn31862), a 16-year-old girl from Gaza, is one of countless young children who, instead of doing the things kids her age should do, spends hours upon hours on social media pleading for people far more fortunate than her - people not enduring a genocide - to support her survival and that of her younger siblings.
She has little success with this; donations trickle in with weeks (or even longer) in between, and even then, the amounts are small.
We can help change this. Visit https://t.co/q5v8ipwgIH, donate what you can to the top-listed appeals (sorted to prioritize those with the least recent support), and do so as often as possible. Also spread the word about the site to everyone you know, so more people can learn about it and join in supporting these campaigns in Gaza - so young children like Nagham don't have to spend most of their days on social media, but can instead focus on learning and playing.
@GraceTussen has written a moving article about her recently, and we encourage everyone to read it.

Everything with pigs (no matter what uniform theyre in) is them exerting their “authority” and the threat of them invoking their monopoly on violence, things that the system overwhelmingly favor them in over your “rights”. The Constitution means nothing. END/🧵
A thing im seeing being pushed alot is that “you have the right to refuse a search of your car” by police. You do, you can say that. But the cops WILL search your car, bcuz they dont give a fuck. Stating you have rights will not stop them exerting their monopoly on violence. 1/🧵
Theyll push the search till either you ablige or they arrest you (possibility of violence from them, they are cops after all). Theyll usually then call the K9 unit who proceeds to tear the shit out of your car to try and find (or plant) what the fuck ever theyre looking for. 2/🧵
