in the meantime in Gaza

While working in Kinshasa, the bad news from Gaza comes to us. I stayed the last week in contact with our friends and partner there. Yesterday, I found out that the new music school, which our partner, A.M. Al-Qattan Foundation, has founded only last September, has been destroyed. The building was destroyed and some of the music instruments were damaged too.

Such a pity. The teachers were very excited about the progress the children were making the last months, and Music Fund was and is getting prepared to launch a project in support of this music school. We will have to wait and see now whether and when our partner will be able to get this project on again, but are in the meantime in touch with them to see how we can be of help.
