Online Poetry Reading: 
A fundraiser for Gheed 
& Other Palestinian Translators
 
Offered by Naomi Nye and Kim Stafford
On Zoom
August 24, 2 pm PST
 
This poetry reading fundraiser is to raise funds for their friend Gheed, a translator and teacher in Gaza. Her employer, Respond: Crisis Translation (RCT), is hosting the Zoom and all donations go directly to Gheed.
 
Our goal is to raise $30,000 to help Gheed get out of Gaza and enroll in a masters program in Germany. Anything raised beyond this will go to support 11 other Palestinian translators based in Gaza who work closely with Gheed. 
 
To RSVP for the event (and receive the link), or to directly donate, please go to this link: https://givebutter.com/XUQBSA
To learn more about the 501(c)3 nonprofit organization helping us with this project, see: https://respondcrisistranslation.org/en/c-gaza

Gheed, based in Northern Gaza, is the Co-Director of RCT’s Arabic Team. In this role she leads and supports RCT’s Arabic translators, including many also based in Gaza, who work tirelessly translating and interpreting for thousands of Arabic-speaking asylum seekers around the world, even while themselves are surviving genocide, displacement and famine.
