A Glasgow Home Education Group is a social group where children and adults from home educating families come together for peer support, learning and community. We have been deeply saddened and distressed by the on-going genocide in Gaza and the occupation of Palestine. More than half the population in Palestine are children and, as people who dedicate our lives to youth empowerment, we need to do something to offer support and solidarity with people there who are suffering unimaginable horrors.

At the start of March, we will be joining thousands of others around the world to Run/Walk/Ride 5km in solidarity with Palestinians at the same time the annual Palestine Marathon was due to take place. Our group consists of children aged 0-16 years as well as parents/carers. We will run, walk, cycle, scoot, or skate the distance.

Home demolitions, illegal settlements, land confiscations, the illegal Separation Wall. These are daily realities for Palestinians living in the West Bank. 'The Wall' refers to the illegal Separation Wall (750km long) that cuts deep into the West Bank.

In Gaza, nowhere is safe. Over 1% of the population have been killed, 70% of these are women and children, over 50,000 injured and 1.9 million people have been displaced. It is a humanitarian disaster where people are facing starvation and the rapid spread of disease.

Please help Amos Trust raise £60,000 - the £30,000 they need to rebuild a Palestinian home on the West Bank that was destroyed by the Israeli Authorities and £30,000 for emergency relief in Gaza.
