GUPS: The General
Union of Palestinian Students NY Chapter,
AL-AWDA-NY : The Palestine Right to Return
Coalition,
&
The NY Committee for the PALESTINE POPULAR CONFERENCE
...Invite you to an evening of
testimony, remembrance, performance and community planning for
the future.
While 60 years have passed since almost a million Palestinians
were kicked off their land or murdered, there has still been no
apology, no reparations, and no right to return.
The Nakba is still occurring
everyday in the West Bank, Gaza, Jerusalem and in Palestine 48,
but so does the resistance. On Thursday May 29th, come hear the
stories and experiences of the survivors and resistors of Al
Nakba as they pass their stories on to a new generation of
Palestinians fighting for a free and liberated Palestine.

Through Family Sponsorship, your family now has the unique
opportunity to help alleviate the suffering of impoverished families
in Gaza Strip, Palestine, and show solidarity to those who are
impacted the most by the dire humanitarian crisis.
Family sponsorship is a community development initiative that
aims to change lives by delivering long-lasting, self-sustaining
improvements to help lift generations out of poverty. Your
sponsorship will empower parents and children caught in the cycle of
poverty.
With your support of $3 per day, delivered in direct monetary
assistance (Cash), you are giving your sponsored family the option
of sustaining essential life needs, be it food, health, education or
merely coming out of crisis.
Your own family will experience the joy of building bridges with
your sponsored family as you begin to build a relationship with
them. Your children will learn invaluable lessons about caring,
sharing and selfless kindness. You will have the option of
contacting your sponsored family, and even visiting them as a show
of your solidarity with their struggle for dignity, national and
human rights.
Family-to-Family sponsorship aims to alleviate the suffering of
impoverished families, and provide minimum support to the family
unit to sustain itself.
The network also aims to help the families further by supporting
education related projects that would provide an incentive for
children and youth to continue their educations with the Back to
School Schoolbag & Tools program and the Kasid University
scholarship program. Please see our website for more details.

in their just struggle for independence, sovereignty,
self-determination & the right to return.
The network aims as well to develop a solid basis for solidarity
with the Palestinian people based on their national and human

those in the most poverty stricken remote communities in Gaza. Since

of suffering in marginalized and deprived communities.
