Pal Babies for Children
Pal Babies for Children
These handmade toys tell a story of hope and creativity. Crafted by the talented women of a West Bank Refugee Camp, they are more than just toys; they are beacons of resilience and compassion.
š In the heart of theĀ Jenin Refugee Camp, women-led sewing circles provide a sanctuary for healing and growth. Here, women and children find solace, companionship, and a safe space to recover from the scars of gender-based violence, poverty, and the harsh realities of occupation.
š Like turning lemons into lemonade, these incredible women transform socks into charming, useful toys that bring joy to kids everywhere. This creative process not only spreads happiness but also builds a strong sense of community and purpose.Ā
