Psychological Support Funding Request: Because of the war of aggression from Israel from the 5th to the 8th of August, many children were killed- 14 died, including 10 from the Jabalia camp, where the Take my Hand Centre is based, that is run by our EGTA Secretary Mohammed Aladhoun. The children have suffered great trauma to see their friends die. The Centre is organising an event to give psychological support to the children. We need money for a clown, toys, food, paint and balloons- we need £300. Please donate at Help Gazan Orphans to learn | Chuffed | Non-profit charity and social enterprise fundraising
