Viva Palestina! Convoy to Gaza
At a meeting hosted yesterday in the
House of Commons by George Galloway Mp it was unanimously agreed that the convoy
to Gaza should happen as quickly as possible.
The aim of the convoy is to
transport essential items to the people of Gaza as well as raise awareness of
the plight of those people through the countries that it will be travelling
through.
More information will be sent as we receive it in the meantime
……
What you can do
The convoy will leave from parliament on the 14th
February 2009, Valentines Day so we will be sending it to Gaza with Love.
The convoy will travel through France, Spain, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia,
Libya and Egypt to Palestine.
We are asking people to do all, some or
one of the following:
- Raise money to take a truck/vehicle over to
Gaza.
- Fundraise money that we can take to Gaza to help with the rebuilding
of schools and especially the Islamic University which was destroyed
-
Collect medication that we can take to Gaza (must not be more than 6 months out
of date from the 14th February 2009
- Collect clothes for children and adults
- Sponsor a truck or part of a truck to take over
- Donate a skill. If you are an HGV driver, doctor, nurse or mechanic your skills will be
very useful
We have very little time – please do all you can to help.
Everything collected, every penny, every item will go directly to the people of
Gaza.

creative arts for almost two decades, bringing his energetic style of poetry
to different venues across the globe. Over a number of years he has focused
on Islamic poetry, as one of several Muslim poets, showcasing the richness
of Islam. His poetry has a wide appeal to both Muslim and non-Muslim
audiences. He recently started a spoken word poetry record label that
received mainstream distribution in North American music and bookstores. His
performances are currently the talk of student lounges, Islamic
conferences, universities, and television and radio stations around the
world.
Further information about Brother Dash can be found at:

There will also
be Arabic poetry by Palestinian brothers and local talent, all of whom who
will reflect their feelings and emotions in light of the recent events in
Gaza. We will be supporting Zaytoun
products (www.zaytoun.org), an ethical business
established to support marginalised farming communities in Palestine. They
will also have a stall selling various items from their product range.
