Gaza Summer Games
Since 2007, UNRWA has provided the children of Gaza with the opportunity to have fun, develop new skills and make new friends through the Gaza Summer Games program. During the 10-week program, boys and girls wear their Summer Games uniforms with pride. Each child is provided with a T-shirt, cap and sneakers ensuring that everyone can participate. Last year, the participants broke the Guinness World Record for the most kites flown simultaneously, this year they will attempt to break another record for the most basketballs bounced at the same time!
In past years, American Friends of UNRWA has partnered with organizations such as the Foundation for Middle East Peace, United Holy Land Fund and the Olayan Foundation to provide the children of Gaza with summers full of fun and learning.
