Would you like to send a letter to Palestinians in Gaza?
Letters to Palestine Programme
Letters to Palestine: Pen Pals for the Ummah is a youth-led initiative by Ihya Publications in collaboration with the Samir Foundation, created to strengthen connection, solidarity and reflection between young people in the UK and Palestine.
Through a live online event featuring guest speakers, reflections and guided writing, participants will have the opportunity to write personal letters of support, hope and brotherhood/sisterhood to those affected by the ongoing crisis in Gaza.
More than just an event, this is an opportunity to transform emotion into action, revive a sense of unity within the Ummah and remind young Muslims that their words, prayers and efforts still carry meaning and impact.
