Healing to Hope’s Work

We aim to promote the psychological and emotional healing of Palestinian children and their caregivers by supporting and sharing Anar’s vision. As we walk this path together with Anar, Healing to Hope focuses on the following goals:

Increasing Awareness & Understanding

We increase awareness about the need for emotional and psychological healing for Palestinian children and their caregivers impacted by violence and oppression, and we enhance understanding about the unique ways that Anar addresses this need. To meet our goals, we:

  • Host webinars, in-person presentations, and community gatherings focused on the unique psychosocial needs of Palestinian children and caregivers.

  • Hold meetings and gatherings designed to raise awareness and educate US audiences about community-based and arts-focused methodologies that support children and caregivers.

  • Build awareness about this work through our newsletter and social media accounts.

  • Organize and host US educational tours for Anar staff focused on speaking engagements, artistic events, and community presentations.

Providing Support

We provide US-based support for Anar’s work with Palestinian children and caregivers by making connections with new stakeholders, collaborating with community organizations and religious communities, and organizing a network of volunteers dedicated to addressing the psychological and emotional needs of Palestinian children. To meet our goals, we:

  • Coordinate a network of volunteers who execute awareness-building events both in Minnesota and in regions throughout the US.

  • Oversee a Local Impact Leaders program, based in Minnesota and carried out nationally.

  • Fundraise to support psychosocial work and arts-based healing for Palestinian children, youth, and caregivers through our relationship with Anar.

  • Organize travel and site visits for US-based volunteers to witness Anar’s work on the ground and offer volunteer support.
