Palestine: Request for Donations; and reports from Loxley Award winner.

Quaker Peace and Service (QPSANZ)

Call for Donations

Quaker Peace and Service Aotearoa New Zealand (QPSANZ) is currently collecting funds for forwarding either to Ramallah Friends School or to Medical Aid for Palestinians. Click here find out more about the need for funds by these organisations, and how you can donate. Donations will be accepted until the middle of January 2026, and be transferred in late January, with the QPSANZ grant for the year.

First-hand information about Palestine

2025 Loxley Award winner Cole is currently in Palestine, putting together information and writing articles and opinion pieces providing first-hand information for us elsewhere in the world; and taking lessons in Arabic to facilitate this work. He has been providing QPSANZ with reports from Palestine, which can be read by logged in Friends here.  Be warned - some of it makes rather harrowing reading.
