Step 1: Donate to the Sameer Project here (sugg. donation $40).

Step 2: Register for “Craft Day for Gaza: Basics of Embroidery” here.

This workshop will cover basic embroidery skills and teach a number of beginner stitches with all supplies provided. Participants will learn using a sampler in the shape of the Palestinian flag, which they will be able to frame in a hoop and take home. After the workshop, participants will have enough knowledge to continue to craft embroidery pieces on their own. The project will take most folks less than the allotted time - feel free to arrive late, leave early, or hang out with us until the end!

All materials will be provided. This event will be indoors in a fully accessible building. KN95 or N95 masks are required and provided as well.
