I used to stand in front of a blackboard. Now I stand before the sea, carrying the weight of a classroom I no longer have. The waves know my silence, the sky knows my prayers. I am a teacher from Gaza, now a stranger to my own home but I still teach resilience, even if only to myself.

Farah lost her entire classroom, but not her light. Displacement has taken so much yet students still turn to her for comfort. She carries more than we can imagine. Leave her a word of love. Let her know she’s not forgotten. 💔 #ChallengeClasses

We haven’t heard from Miss Farah. She and her family may be displaced, and Challenge Classes are on hold. Students are likely scattered. Farah will need our support more than ever. We’re watching for updates. Her voice matters—and so do the students’. We love you, Miss Farah.

During class today, a student quietly handed us her writing. On the page she had written: They bombed our house. My whole family was martyred. I was the only one left alive. Below that, in small letters: Why did I survive? Too many of our students carry stories like this.

Miss Farah and her students at the Challenge Classes had the cutest dance moment the other day. Even under siege, they create space for joy. Every child deserves safety, peace, and the freedom to just be a kid.

After weeks of absence due to resumed bombings, students returned to visit their classroom and found posters torn, desks broken and memories scattered. They walked through the ruins with heavy hearts, missing the lessons they never got to finish.

For the first time since May 27th, no one came to class today. Israel broke the ceasefire last night. It’s heartbreaking. These kids deserve safety, not fear. They deserve to learn, to dream and to just be kids. Stand with Gaza.

The ceasefire marked a fragile moment of hope for Gaza. This young girl’s smile, painted during a rare moment of peace, is a reminder of why we keep going—every child deserves the chance to learn, dream, and find joy, even in the hardest times.

Amid the rubble, our students’ drawings reflect dreams of beauty, peace, and hope. 🕊️🎨
Art becomes their voice, a powerful act of expression that reminds us of their strength and yearning for a better tomorrow.
What do these drawings say to you?
