What’s the mission of your community? ๐ฏ
The program is meant to help children and the local community to engage all together with people from all around the world, occupation made it very hard and sometimes impossible for Palestinians to travel and get to know new people and new cultures, so we decided to invite people to our place and give the new generation a big chance to be in a global environment where everybody can share skills and help.
We need you to join us and share your skills, we want to give the next generations the tools and knowledge to help them not only achieve their dreams but to allow them to stay in their home country and help develop their communities.
