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 purchase
