The Middle East Children's Alliance (MECA) is a nonprofit organization 
based in Berkeley, California working for the rights of children in the 
Middle East by sending humanitarian aid, supporting projects for 
children and educating North American and international communities 
about the effects of the US foreign policy on children in the region.

MECA supports children and families in Gaza through financial support 
and professional assistance to community organizations that help meet 
Palestinian children's needs, including clinics, kindergartens, 
counseling centers, libraries; accessible parks and playgrounds; sports 
teams, and dance, music and art programs. MECA also helps provide 
university scholarships for Palestinian youth, and provides clean water 
to children in Gaza by installing water purification and desalination 
units in schools and kindergartens.

The program will include amazing local speakers and performers including 
Camile Odeh, Ahmed Hamad, Ethan Viets Van-Lear (spoken word), Sarab 
Shada (singing), and Alex Farha (oud).

Tickets are $30 for general admission, and $15 for students and 
low-income individuals. Dinner will be provided by Haifa Cafe.* **To
