Comrade,
Fórsa is extremely proud to support the ‘Let Them Play’ campaign, a nationwide drive to get vital GAA equipment to children and volunteer coaches in five clubs in the West Bank.
For the next three weeks, our Dublin office (Nerney’s Court, D01 R2C5) will serve as an official drop-off point for donations for the GAA Palestine nationwide drive.
A 20ft container has been secured by GAA Palestine in Athy, Co. Kildare. The goal is simple: fill it to the roof before it ships to Palestine.
We’re asking members, branches and activists to donate new GAA equipment, including:
- Hurls
- Helmets
- Sliotars
- Gumshields
- Training gear
- Kids’ kits and club gear
If you’re unsure what to donate, or would prefer to make a financial contribution instead, you can contact GAA Palestine here.
Please spread the word in your branch, your club and your community and help us make sure that children in Palestine get the chance to play.
Some months ago, GAA Palestine attempted to send equipment over, but the shipment was refused entry and returned to Ireland at a significant cost.
But the organisers refuse to give up. And this time, we are backing them in their efforts.
Starting from today, members can drop donations to the Fórsa Dublin office right up until Tuesday, 31st March. Please note, our office reception is open from 9am-5pm, Monday to Friday to collect the donations.
Lig dóibh imirt.
In solidarity,
Kevin, Mehak and Aisling.
Fórsa Campaigns Team.
