Student Stickers for Gaza Crisis Aid

Each semester in an art class in a suburb of Taichung City, Taiwan, students design stickers that their teacher has printed professionally as a lesson and keepsake for the elementary students who attend the class.

This semester, students were learning about the news of children in Gaza who have lost their homes, families, and all of their belongings due to the conflict in the region. The students felt deeply sympathetic for the children and wanted to do something to help. They expressed their feelings through their art, creating drawings and paintings that depicted the suffering of the children in Gaza. The teacher used this opportunity to have a discussion about empathy and compassion, and the students brainstormed ways to support and help the children in Gaza. It was a powerful lesson in empathy and the importance of reaching out to those in need.

As a part of an annual Christmas Bazaar at an international School in Taichung City, their teacher will be selling their sticker sheets and donating the profits to the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund, PCRF. Learn more about PCRF here.
