The story of the start
Hamza and Amr were walking in the narrow paths in Al-Nusirate camp were Hamza lives. It was the first day of Ramadan when they saw some affective scenes. An old man with a stick, a homeless child wearing pants in which his thighs were shown up, and women are the residents of this camp. Hamza and Amr were so affected to talk about that. They felt something in their inside pushes them to help their people.
Amr:
Hamza, look at those people, we have to do something. We need to help them. Think about something that we could help them. How about an initiative?
Hamza: (silent for a while)
SPONSOR INIATIVE…
Sponsor a Palestinian family from your house.
That is it.
Amr: (happy)
Great. Well thinking Hamza.
Hamza:
You know Amr; I have another broad idea than what I have just said before. I think sponsor initiative is too narrow. It is going to limit us in a specific corner. How about making it broad so that we can help the vast majority of our people, for better Palestine.
I think if we named it Help Initiative it is going to be better. By this, we include al the levels of necessitous people.
Amr:
Well, it is great and humanitarian. But, Hamza, I feel that it is going to be very difficult. It is almost like a time and effort costing. Even though, I am totally with you.
And there is one thing, how can we get fund and donations?
Hamza:
Do not worry, I know some pro-Palestinian and supporters. Give me time to ask them. Today evening I will email my friends. Maria, you should remember her, Amr. She is really an active supporter. And I also know Yvonne the famous British TV presenter. She has been through many Palestinian-supporting programs. As well I know Tomoko she is a Japanese girl studies in America. She is very active.
Amr:
Ok Hamza, do your best. I have to go home now. Goodbye and see you tomorrow inshaAllah.
Hamza:
Goodbye my friend, see you next time.
The next day
Hamza paid a visit to Amr in his camp at Deir-Al Balah city.
Hamza:
I emailed Yvonne, Maria and Tomoko.
Amr:
Really? What did they say?
Hamza:
Yvonne accepted. She liked the idea, but she needs to study the initiative, the basics and principles, etc…
Amr:
What about Maria?
Hamza:
Maria needs a time to think about it. She did not give me a quick response.
Tomoko accepted like Yvonne.
Amr:
We have to take a further on-light step. I will go to ministry of internal affairs to ask about the legal procedures. We should also get our mission, vision and strategies done. For that we need the help of our friend Mohammed because he is a professional in English. I will phone him now he will be one of us.
Hamza:
Ok, that is great.
Hamza, Amr and Mohammed accomplished the details of the initiative; goals, strategies and objectives. Then sent them to Maria, Tomoko and Yvonne.
They accepted to work with them since then, and named it Global Help Initiative for Palestine ''HI''
