** SATURDAY 24/11 @ 7:00 PM
The film "Atfal wa lakin" was made in Lebanon, it takes the story of a group of Palestinian kids who live in an orphanage, the film shows a realistic picture of the kids, what they think, how they play, and what they draw. The film was produced in 1982, but still it presents a realistic & sad picture of the situation at that moment in time, part of the history that we do not want to forget& is still relevant in 2001…

The Sakakini announces that it will embark on a goodwill program in Ramadan. This program is directed toward the people who have suffered the most under the closure and Israeli aggression; the wounded, students and low ranking soldiers who live far away from their families and can't visit them. The program consists of four "iftar" (break-the-fast) meals followed by a musical/ entertainment activity at the Centre. The guests will then receive care packages while leaving.
The Centre is looking for volunteers who can help with the organizing of such a program; if you can donate your time, money, or help with the campaign to collect items for the care packages. Or, if you have any good ideas, please call the Centre or pass by. Your support is necessary to make these Ramadan evenings work & show solidarity with the people who have suffered the most…
