APWA’s Bazaar Raises Funds for Children’s Cancer Center

AA4

The American Palestinian Women’s Association (APWA)’s Annual Holiday Bazaar took place Nov. 16 at the Epiphany United Methodist Church in Vienna, VA. The event featured the sale of a wide range of Palestinian embroideries, Christmas ornaments, Jerusalem pottery and kitchenware, handmade Nabulsi soaps, Palestinian bottled olive oil, as well as various crafts from Bethlehem, Gaza, Jerusalem and Ramallah. Shoppers also enjoyed traditional home-cooked Palestinian cuisine. All proceeds from the Bazaar were donated to the Augusta Victoria Hospital in Jerusalem, the only cancer center that provides radiation therapy for Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza.

SINCE YOU'RE HERE...

We have a small favor to ask…

… More people are reading the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Our independent, investigative journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe our perspective matters – because it might well be your perspective, too.

Unlike many news organizations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want our journalism to remain free and open to everyone. Democracy depends on reliable access to information. By making our journalism publicly available, we're able to hold governments, companies and institutions to account, and offer our diverse, global readership a platform for debate and commentary. This encourages us all to challenge our opinions on what’s happening throughout our world. By supporting the Washington Report – and just giving what you can afford – you can help us ensure that everyone has access to critical information for years to come.

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps to support it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $1, you can support the Washington Report – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
