Hello Friends,
I'm a PCRF volunteer and this July I will be participating in the 7th annual Cycling4Gaza event among a group of 45 dedicated individuals. The cycling challenge will cover 300km from Amsterdam to The Hague and over a span of 3 days. Our mission is firstly, to raise awareness of the military occupation of the Gaza Strip and secondly, to raise funds to further develop the Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF) Pediatric Mental Health Project in Gaza.
The PCRF is a non-profit organization that predominantly provides medical relief for children under Israeli military occupation. It is the main organization in the region that sends injured children abroad for free medical care and brings in expert volunteer surgery teams to provide medical care and training for local medical personnel. Over 1,000 children have been sent to the US for free medical care and over 10,000 children have received local medical care from visiting surgery teams.
The 2014 war on Gaza left thousands of children injured not only physically but also psychologically. Today, approximately 373,000 children in Gaza suffer from emotional and psychological trauma and are in dire need of mental care support and reintegration into society. The objective of the Gaza Mental Health Project is to assess children’s needs, provide them the service they require and to train social workers on administering screening questionnaires. Over 1,300 children have been screened by 5 field workers to date and their subsequent programs are currently being developed.
I welcome you the opportunity to support our mission and be part of our journey to raise funds for the Gaza Mental Health Project. Every dollar counts.
“Wars can destroy bodies but not souls.” –Steve Sosebee, CEO of the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund.
Thank you,
Carina.

What's amazing about you is the fact that you took action. We all watch and know what's going on, we always talk about helping but always taken by our own life and time just flies with no one really doing much about it. You make us proud. Keep it up !
