Soon our next intervention will start- this time in Haiti.
Some in our Team worked already together in Gaza and in Indonesia.
the “Friends of Waldorf Education” are a non-governmental organization which built up a “emergency pedagogy”section to help traumatized children in crisis regions. We started in 2006 were we worked with children in Lebanon after the war. In 2008 we worked in China after the earthquake in 2009 we went to Gaza two times and also last year we worked in West-Sumatra, Indonesia to support children who did suffer (and still do) from the aftermath of the earthquake.

Submitted by anniepalestina on Thu, 02/05/2009 - 02:56
we had to leave gaza. Our embassy forced us to leave as israel is planning a new attack...and this we know already since 4 days.
Any next attack from israel cannot be seen as a direct response to anything coming from Hamas...they planned it obviously since some days.
we are waiting in egypt now, hoping we can go back in... Read more »

today i went to smoke behind the school where i am in working in. I found there 3 boys age 15-20 that where hanging around. They invited me for tea that they prepare on a fire.. One of them, ahmad lost half of his leg when a missile hit his families house. I try to talk with them as good as i can. When i told them that i have to leave now and go back to the work with the children they are dissappointed. They invite me to come again for tea and in my next break i am visiting them again. The 2 younger ones where kicked out of school after they hit their teacher and they hit him back. Read more »
from gaza day 2

the golden ball
I worked with children the whole day, most of them look tired and stressed. They are thankful and a smile finds a way on their face when we play with them. I use special games and exercises to give back stability and rythm into the life of the children. Also it is important to give them feeling of joy and being welcome.
In the afternoon we work in the al Qatan cultural center. A whole clan is coming with their children.
In the war the Israely army asked them to gather all in one house as they operated in their living area. Read more »
from gaza

Leaving Kairo in the morning we head down to Rafah in a little bus. The good news: we got the paper from the german embassy to enter Gaza. The bad news: we might have to leave gaza allready on the 4th again cause the embassy warned us that Israel is planning an airstrike on the 5th again.
At the egyptian boarder we hand out our paper and wait 2 hours for the man in charge to have a look on it. He is sitting with other important men in a little room. I can see that they are having lunch inside....I am hungry too. Read more »
