This is about the right to grow up
The war in Gaza is a war on children. By the time you finish reading this whole website, another child will have been killed in Gaza*. Justification for war loses sight of what is really at stake: the lives of children who hold the future for Palestine and Israel.
Children don’t take sides. Children are always on the side of humanity’s future. And we choose to pick their side. All kids deserve a chance to grow up.
#LetThemGrowUp #CeasefireNOW #FreeTheHostages
*According to calculations made by Al Jazeera based on data released by the Palestinian Ministry of Health, a Palestinian child is killed every 10 minutes in Gaza.
act now
Right now, children in Gaza are walking around with their names written on their bodies. This is something their parents have to do so that, if they are killed, loved ones can still identify and properly mourn them. Can you imagine what it would be like to live through that? When we heard about this our hearts broke and we knew we had to do something.
So we’ve teamed up with artists and activists and we will be writing the names of Gaza’s children on our BODIES as a gesture of solidarity – and to send a message to the world that their lives matter. And you can join us by following the steps below.
1
Pick a child’s name from the list below and write it on your arms alongside their age – on the list, we have names of children living in Gaza, who are sheltering from Israel’s airstrikes.
2
Take a selfie with your arms in front of your chest like the image shown here.
3
Post it using the hashtag #LetThemGrowUp and #CeasefireNow + the website LetThemGrowUp.com.
4
If possible, in the caption of the post, add their personal story.
5
Invite your friends and family to do the same.
6
Alternatively, you can also find content you can download and share here – including photos, videos and memes.

Child victims
This is a memorial for all the innocent lives we have lost to this senseless violence that we could identify so far. Over 6000 children have been killed. Here we are telling some of their stories – it is a way of keeping them alive.

Have I passed it on without realising?
My experience of being chased off a bus by a drunk man at 11 stopped me from using buses wherever possible for years.
And I’ve just realised that I created a situation where my children would be able to walk the 2 roads to school.
Even when my son was old enough to take buses to town to meet friends I drove him.
In my head this was me being nice.
During Covid this was me being wise.
And then it got to the point where at 14/15 he finally took a bus.
It was fine.
My daughter too, now nearly 14, gets driven everywhere. It wouldn’t occur to me to tell her to get a bus. Although she now will if going to a friends for tea, but that’s with that friend. Safety in numbers?!
I may help others break these patterns to stop exactly this! But it doesn’t stop me from being human, and sometimes we are so close to the story replaying that we can’t see it replaying.
It’s time to loosen my grip, and let them explore independence in a way that I feel I missed through not knowing how to help myself at the time.
None of us are perfect.
Even when we’re in the know.
Rooting for you ❤️ and me ❤️

For any man that raised or helped to raise a kid today, feel proud. You are a good person and HAPPY FATHERS DAY !!!! 🎉🎊
Myself, I helped in raising a beautiful, smart girl. She received a diploma. She then transferred credits and worked her arse off, working a full time job, living on her own, and received a degree. She normally has my work ethic; strong, cares about the job we do, tries to be the best that has been there before. She became her own woman, and makes her own choices, I taught her that. She was never pressured into doing something her mom or I wanted her to do, except maybe dishes or cleaning her bedroom or bathroom.
Blood will always be thicker than water, though, even if someone thinks it is not, and that is ok. Trust me, I know all too well. 😢
I hope all of the daughters and sons reached out to their "dad" today and told them how they feel and wished him a Happy Father`s Day, because dad`s, without you, they may have missed something if you were not present to give them a hand or give them the push they needed to move forward and become, or start to become the woman or man they have/are/eventually will became/become.
HAPPY FATHER`S DAY !!! Give yourselves a pat on the back. ❤️

Thank you to travspiretanzania guests for joining us on our gifty stops from Kilindoni village 😍 anjleyz
One of our favorite things to do when we touch down on mafiaisland is to let our babies know we`ve returned 🩵
We do this by making sure to stop for every child we see on the way back from our 1st village run, where we always remember to grab treats for the children 🥰

This may get me in trouble, but I strongly believe:
A female being interested in stereotypically male things does not make her a male.
AND
A male being interested in stereotypically female things does not make him a female.
AND
A child believing they`re something doesn`t make it true. It makes it "make believe" pretend play. It`s what kids do.
Gender Dysphoria is a very real condition. I`m not belittling the condition or its struggles. An adult who wants to present as their preferred gender is free to do so, but kids should be allowed the opportunity to become adults before they choose procedures they can`t undo.

Msufini School is our current focus on mafiaisland. Classrooms are overcrowded. Teachers are under equipped. The children barely have backpacks and complete uniforms. Thanks to our donors we`ve been able to provide notebooks, pens, pencils, erasers, sharpeners and treats for at least 6 classrooms of 100+ students.
We provided teachers with red pens, counter books and chalk. Forget dry erase boards. This school only has chalkboards and some classrooms don`t even have chalk.
You read that correct. It isn`t uncommon for a classroom to have over 100 students with no chalk.💔 This is why your donation matters. Every dollar makes a difference. Please donate today whatever you can to the link in bio. 🙏🏽🤲🏽 paypal.me/letthemgrowup
nenefpali the founder of "Let them grow up" also accepts Zelle and Cashapp. She will be returning end of Summer/early Fall to bless these babies personally again.

´Outrageous’, Joe Biden. ‘Disgrace’, Benjamin Netanyahu. Responses by USA and Israel to an application by the International Criminal Court for warrants seeking the arrest of the Israeli Prime Minister and his Defence Minister, Yoav Gallant for war crimes in Gaza.

Tell us about a Child
Please, fill out form below to tell us more about a child who is currently in Gaza, we will add their story to the list of children we can still save. You can also use this form to ask for a photo of a child to be removed.
Who we are
This website was made by campaigners at the global movement Avaaz, many of whom are parents and deeply touched by the situation of the children in Palestine and Israel. When we heard that parents were writing their kids’ names on their bodies in Gaza, our hearts broke. Watching the anguish of Israeli parents longing to get their kids back makes us hurt too. We needed to do something about it.
Avaaz means “voice” in several European, Middle Eastern, and Asian languages. We are a global digital movement to bring people-powered politics to decision-making everywhere. We empower millions of people from all walks of life to take action on pressing global, regional, and national issues, from corruption and poverty to conflict and climate change. Our model of Internet organizing allows thousands of individual efforts, however small, to be rapidly combined into a powerful collective force. The Avaaz community campaigns in 17 languages, served by a core team on 6 continents.
You can learn more about us here.
