What a week we have had! We learnt the names of fruits in Turkish, watched the story of The Very Hungry Caterpillar and learnt about the life cycle from caterpillar to butterfly. We're looking forward to the weekend and to continuing the fun again on Monday.

We started the last week by celebrating the International Day of Non-Violence. We also had some great workshops with the local youth, made some music, played games and did arts and crafts.
We hope your week was as great as ours! 🙂

Kids' group made a life-sized hot air balloon and shared with us which friends would join them on an imaginary journey. The Samba workshop made new rhythms with drums of all different sizes. Happy World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development everyone!

We are so thankful that the firing had stopped and our staff and their families are safe. But now the task of rebuilding #Gaza must start, and the repairing of shattered bodies and minds.

Powerful speech from @SayeedaWarsi, who condemns UK government failure to uphold its own policy on Palestine.
“We do nothing to deter Israel from expanding settlements, forced evictions & home demolitions. This is ethnic cleansing.”

“The child’s viewpoint”... @FireflyInternat’s senior PTSD counsellor Mohammed has asked kids sheltering in Gaza to draw what was going on inside them. He said these drawings represent “what terrifies them” #SolidarityWithPalestine

Terrible news that our clinic with @FireflyInternat in Adam Center on 7th Floor of Al Jawhara Tower in Gaza destroyed by 4 missiles. Grateful that our staff are safe for now, but so fearful for safety of all innocent civilians especially children in the midst of this battlefield
