The Hands Up Project

… is a charity trust which, through its network of volunteers, connects children around the world with young people in Palestine. By means of online interaction, drama and storytelling activities, it enables the use of creativity and self-expression to promote mutual understanding, personal growth, and the development of English language skills.

Updates from HUP teachers and students inside Gaza…


Ask yourself what kind of a world we live in, where the responsibility to tell us how to live falls on a 9 year old girl in Gaza.

Eyes are for looking and seeing sun

Tongues are for greeting and saying fun

Legs are for walking slowly and also run

Hands are for shaking with friends not for shooting gun

by Fatema Saidam, 2014 - 2023

Rest in peace

“I remember watching one of the plays and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house by the end of it, and I just knew that I had to get involved and here I am! Still here!”
