Dear friends 🌹 We're excited to announce that SimSim restaurant will be donating 25% of its proceeds every Wednesday to support the APO educational center in Gaza, which provides education and more services to orphaned children. Please show your support by dining at Simsim this Wednesday. Thank you to Mr. Mamoon and his partners for their kindness and generosity!

In collaboration with the Edward Said National Conservatory of Music, Americans for Palestinian Orphans hosted a recreational and psychosocial event for orphaned children in Gaza within APO’s educational space.

Filled with music, movement, laughter, and interactive performances, the event gave children a chance to engage, express joy, and experience moments of connection in a safe and uplifting environment. Supporting orphaned children means caring not only for their physical needs, but also for their emotional well-being and sense of childhood.

For children, stability is essential for healthy development.

Yet in Gaza, repeated displacement, violence, and fear have denied many children basic safety and routine, leaving them without the stability that every child needs to grow and learn.

For orphans, this instability is even more dangerous. Without parents or caregivers, many children face the crisis entirely alone.

Americans for Palestinian Orphans works to rebuild that stability by providing education, therapeutic support, medical care, and daily necessities to displaced orphaned children in Gaza.

Our goal is simple but urgent:
to help children reclaim a sense of normal life, even in the middle of crisis.
