Touring US to Save Palestinian Village

"We have three goals to achieve," Donna Baranski-Walker, Executive Director of Rebuilding Alliance, the US NGO that invited the three, told IslamOnline.net.

"Raise awareness of our cause so hundreds will join us and help save our kindergarten and the village of Al Aqaba, raise funds to allow us to continue our speaking tour, and raise funds to continue the 'Constructive Resistance' underway in the village of Al Aqaba."

Five years ago, the American NGO, which rebuilds homes and communities in regions of war and occupation, was approached by representatives from Aqaba, a village in the Jordan River Valley, for help with building their kindergarten.

"We agreed to help and instead of just replacing the roof, we built a new foundation and first floor of the kindergarten," recalls Baranski-Walker.
