On August
30th. 2015 at the Normandy Hotel Inchinnan Road Renfrew an event is
taking place which is a must for those who want to learn about the Palestine
Israel conflict and hopefully help the beleaguered people of Gaza. Below you will find details of the all day
events which culminate in a dinner and speakers from Palestine as well as
Professor Norman Finklestein who is an American Political Scientist and an
expert on the Middle East. I would urge anyone who might be interested to ‘Google’
or U Tube Mr. Finklestein, this is rare chance to see him and hear him speak.

Al-Khair is a humanitarian aid charity
organisation, established in 2003 with branches throughout the UK, East Africa
and subcontinent Asia. Primarily our focus is delivering emergency aid and
relief in regions suffering the aftermath of natural disasters, conflict zones
and communities plagues by abject poverty. The Foundation is constantly engaged
in humanitarian project internationally as well as charitable work here in the
UK, assisting those who are in need of help and assistance.
Our programmes include food supplies and
access to clean and safe water solutions, medical aid, temporary and permanent
shelter constructs, educational institutes, and livelihood training facilities.
Insha’Allah we are currently sponsoring widows and orphans in Gaza, Insha’Allah
will soon build a hospital in Khan Younis (our maternity hospital was destroyed
last summer during Ramadan), we are currently supplying hospitals with medicine
and medical equipment, we have a food programme to feed families in need,
Insha’Allah we will be sponsoring undergraduates in all of Gazas universities
and many more programmes. Al-Khair
Foundation is a 100% donation charity.
The workshops will be live with Gaza so that
we may see first hand the problems facing Gazans and hear it directly rather
than second or third hand. As a studen tthis is an ideal way to gain experience
and use your knowledge to help Gazans via skype 2-3hrs a week and also at the
same time helping a humanitarian cause.
Insha’Allah our aim is non political and we
will be holding workshops during the day time to find solutions to problems
Gazans face on a daily basis. Our aim is
to find mentors and businesses willing to help Gazans via Webcam, as they are
unable to leave their open prison and we outsiders are unable to enter.
Insha’Allah we are hoping to start a mentoring and apprentice programme to help
them and the day will culiminate in an auction dinner.
