As a new academic year begins, we want to take a moment to reflect on the journey we’ve shared over the past year and to express our heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support. The past academic year has been marked by significant successes and equally profound challenges, particularly in the context of the ongoing situation in Israel and Palestine.
As we close our 2023/4 school year, we reflect on what has been one of our most challenging, significant yet powerful years yet.
"The pain of this year for our communities has been devastating. The progress we make from here will be paramount. It's time to de-escalate, educate, and give the next generation the chance to define a future of peace, justice, equality, and a rejection of hate" - Sharon Booth, our Founder and Director.
It’s important not to shut down legitimate conversation or protest around Israel-Palestine at a crucial time, but it is also essential that discourse does not stray into xenophobia or racism against Palestinians or Israelis.
Note: Jess reflects on our work over the last six months, for our #PeaceBuilderVoices matched fundraising campaign. Until April 30th, all donations via our Big Give campaign will be doubled.
