If this wish gets the loot, I'll send it on to my friend Fida Qishta at the Life Maker Center in Rafah, Gaza, a community
and educational center in Rafah, Gaza. I work with a sister city project between Olympia and Rafah. Life Makers is one of the few places Rafah children have to get away from the chaos of daily life.
More about the organization can be found here:

For the rest of this appeal space, I turn it over to others:
-->
Laila El-Haddad, a journalist and mother living in Gaza writes at her blog, Raising Yousef:
"In previous posts, I've mentioned the work of the tireless Fida Qishta of Rafah, which we are highlighting in our latest short documentary, "Where do the Children Play?". Many of you have asked me how you can help support Fida's work-either by way of donating to the playground project currently in the works, or the Centre itself. I've just learned from Fida that because they are no longer able to pay the rent, the Centre may shut down, and they are in dire straights. She's asked me to send the word out about their situation and see if anybody can assist. Here is some more information from her on the Centre itself."
-->
Fida, who runs the center, writes:
"We are life makers in Palestine , Gaza strip , Rafah city .
"As part of our work we started the Life Makers Center as a start, for children, which tries to provide an oasis of peace in a particularly devastated and impoverished area. We currently receive more than 250 children. We started with 40 children, three times a week , for three a hours after school. If we have more recourses we would accommodate more children and this is a long - term aim of ours.
"Our main objective is to give children a safe place to play, to educate and help children overcome trauma. We do our best to give them attention, affection and security. Our biggest objective is to create a bit of normality for these children- where they can come and play in a supervised, safe area.
We provide activities for children , for example handicraft, painting, reading , English lessons, games and tours. "

Money will be forwarded via Gaza Community Mental Health, a respected NGO operating in Gaza.
