Registration is now live - if you are interested in coming to Gaza please register online, the deadline to submit your application is November 6th. There will also be a compulsory briefing sessios for all potential participants on November 7th in Birmingham - please contact Alice from Viva Palestina at alice@vivapalestina.org or 07944 512 469 for more information. The first batches of applications are being processed this week and if you have sent one in, you will receive a substantive reply at the beginning of next week.
Those interested in going to Gaza must organise a vehicle to travel in or at least fundraise towards buying a vehicle. The PSC and Viva Palestina can help put you in touch with someone in your locality if you would like to pool resources together to buy a vehicle. For more information about what you need to consider when buying a vehicle please get in touch.
The PSC has also put together a number of resources to help you with your fundraising efforts - including posters, flyers, sponsor forms, model letters to contact unions for donations and ideas to raise money. Email convoy@palestinecampaign.org for any of these.
There are also plenty of other ways to get involved if you are unable to join the convoy - from donating to raising awareness about the ongoing siege of Gaza to volunteering at the PSC office to help with the 'behind the scenes' work to make the convoy a success.
STUDENTS:
Come to the PSC National Student Conference where there will be discussion on making solidarity links with students in Gaza - including live video links with students there - and planning for the student contingent on the convoy.
CALLING ALL TEACHERS:
We encourage teachers to get students to make pen pals with children in Gaza – many of whom have been traumatized by Israel’s massacre 10 months ago and lost family and friends in the attacks - by sending a card with an email or postal address in. We will ensure these are distributed to children of a similar age in Gaza.
