Projects

  • Gaza
    • Gaza Soccer Start Here. Help a  Rafah Gaza neighborhood begin to recover from trauma,  bringing their neighborhood together through sport, and using that spirit of teamwork to repair damaged homes and infrastructure, with the help of peace groups in Israel, Egypt, and Cyprus — and the support of people around the world.   -  Grassroots initiative described in Gaza Soccer YouTube video
    • Doors, Walls, Windows for Gaza. Addresses the 20,000 damaged homes in Gaza by starting with a small rebuilding project in Ybnah camp, run by the Rachel Corrie Sports Initiative group.  Launch a grassroots and diplomatic initiative to get building materials into Gaza by demonstrating economic benefit to the disadvantaged Israeli neighborhood of Sderot.  Proposal submitted to the Sparkplug Foundation – APPROVED!
    • Rachel Corrie Rebuilding Campaign in Gaza 2nd Home: complete fundraising and construction of the Al Bahry family’s home as soon as building materials are available in Gaza.
  • East Jerusalem
    • Memorial Sculpture at the Anata Girls School (pending approval by donor)
  • West Bank
    • Abir’s Garden: a Safe Place to Grow. The Abir’s Garden Project is more than building playgrounds. It is about justice prevailing over revenge, genuine partners for peace, and a precedent-setting case to make soldiers stop shooting at children. At its heart, these Combatants for Peace are working together to build  beautiful places where children can be children, where they can go to be safe, to step out of the Occupation into a world of play and creativity, and begin to heal.
    • Al Aqaba Kindergarten and its Village. The expansion of the Al Haq Kindergarten will continue to attract the interest and investment needed to make Al Aqaba a center for education, reconciliation, and fair trade industry in Area C of the Jordan River Valley and the coordinated worldwide advocacy needed to achieve a precedent-setting guarantee to assure this village its right to issue building permits.
    • First Palestinian Birthing Center and Ambulance in the Jordan River Valley – to be installed in Al Aqaba
  • Israel
    • Our Doors, Walls, Windows for Gaza can bring economic benefit to the disadvantaged Israeli neighborhood of Sderot and political clout to our partner, the Israeli peace group “Other Voice-Sderot” because the building materials for Gaza will be purchased in Sderot
  • Protect Human Rights Project
    • Petitioning to invoke the Leahy Amendment on behalf of Abir Aramin.
    • Ongoing petitions on behalf of the village of Al Aqaba, in partnership with JLAC
