-In 2010, the BPYI working hand in hand with village craftsmen built the first children’s library in Palestine. The ribbon on the new library was cut jointly by the Governor of Salfit Province and the American Consulate.

Hey guys, how is everyone doing? I know we all seek to be impactful in a way or another, helping others, not only make their lives different but surely it makes our own lives different as well.
Walid Elhout, is one of the most influential people I've met in my small circle of people. He lives in Gaza, WestBank, yet he managed to change and influence the lives of so many people, not only around him but elsewhere, all through his program (Me to You Initiative). now he is seeking to develop his program by expanding it to make a new program called (me to you mini kitchen) to do so, he needs some help, I hope you guys can contribute anything!

Dear Bard community, the Bard Palestinian Youth Initiative is hosting a movie series at Preston tonight from 6-8.
the movies are dedicated to the memory of the catastrophe that has happened May-15-1948, they showcase the injustice, discrimination and the hard living situations of the Palestinian people in occupied Palestine. Please join us in commemorating the Nakba, especially in light of the recent political atmosphere. The embassy moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem on the anniversary of the Nakba. Please help us raise funds to help support the cause of the Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians that were displaced. Donations will be appreciated! A short discussion will be held after the movies.
