Irish Quaker Faith in Action, in conjunction with Islamic Relief, will hold a Street Collection for the people of Gaza in Galway City this Saturday the 9th of March.

Proceeds from the collection will go to help alleviate the suffering of people in Gaza through several long-standing partnerships and projects.

The Religious Society of Friends has been in Palestine since the mid 19th century. We oppose all wars and violent confrontation, as well as the circumstances that lead to wars.

This Lenten season coincides with the Holy Month of Ramadan for our Muslim neighbours and friends. Let us work together to bring hope and peace to the people of Gaza and all people in the Middle East.

Contributions can be made online: Bank of Ireland, Irish Quaker Faith in Action, Iban: IE66 BOFI 9002 0164 1985 89, Bic: BOFIIE2D
