New Arrival in Our Library: ‘Moon Tell Me Truth’ – A Powerful Poetry Collection from Gaza

We are delighted to announce that we have a new book available in our school library: ‘Moon Tell Me Truth’. It is a collection of poems from the students of various UN schools in Gaza.

The book was published by the Hands up project, 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.

Emily, Year 12, attended their conference in Totnes last week, where they discussed learning opportunities for the children of Gaza and working concurrently with the Gazan teachers who are transforming education during this unsettling time.

Emily said:

Despite the war, despite the devastation, there is still spirit.
