My birthday is coming and I want you to kindly help me to enlighten everyone! Help me send solar lights to a child in Gaza who wants to read and learn. The rolling blackouts happen daily for 8-12 hours.
Your donation will help send a pallet of 2888 solar-powered Luci Lights to three NonGovernmental Organizations in Gaza. Rebuilding Alliance, the U.S. Nonprofit sponsoring this effort, has thoroughly and personally researched how to get them in — it is doable! (And they've successfully sent 2 containers of school supplies and clothing). Preclearance is underway, and the State Department and a Senator and Congresswoman are standing by to help.
The NGO's receiving this first shipment of lights will distribute them to families in need, one light per child. We start with these three NGOs: The Rafah Women's Program Center, the Al Basma Club for the Disabled, and the Gaza Community Mental Health Programme. Our goal is to get them there by the end of April so that children can study for their finals.
You can donate online, and if you prefer just send a check to Rebuilding Alliance directly (and please put "Mona's Birthday Campaign" on the memo line. Here's the address:
