About the event:
Set against the backdrop of compassion and solidarity, this poetry night aims to raise awareness and funds to alleviate the difficulties faced by Palestinians in their pursuit of a dignified and peaceful existence.
We will be welcoming a gathering of poets who lend their voices to the cause. Attendees will be treated to an enchanting display of diverse poetic expressions, each piece crafted to evoke empathy and shed light on the stories, struggles, and resilience of the Palestinian community.
The event is not just a platform for artistic expression, but it is also a call to action. All proceeds directed towards IHRC Trust’s Palestine Appeal.
Join us in turning the pages of compassion and solidarity, one verse at a time.
