ORGANIZATION: Rebuilding Alliance

Solar-powered Luci Lights received in Rafah, Gaza

We welcome you to Brighten the Future of Gaza's Children!

Children of Gaza are experiencing long black-outs every day. Rebuilding Alliance is able to send pallets of solar-powered personal laterns to Non-Governmental Organizations in Gaza who give them to children and families in need.

Rebuilding Alliance is receiving a matching grant to send two lights for each one donated to children in Gaza! We ask your help to extend our fundraising to places of worship (all faiths) throughout the SF Bay area. We attend Mosques on Fridays from 12:15 - 3 pm and Churches on Sunday between 8 and 10 am.

Come learn about this remarkable project and help raise funds to send our next (our 5th) shipment!

To apply, please send a cover letter email describing why you would like to volunteer. If you have a resume, please include it - and also list three references. We'll reply and set up a first interview by phone. Volunteers from all backgrounds, abilities/disabilities welcome.

About Rebuilding Alliance

Location:

50 Woodside Plaza Ste. 627, Redwood City, CA 94061, US

Mission Statement

Rebuilding Alliance is dedicated to advancing equal rights for the Palestinian people through education, advocacy, and support that assures Palestinian families the right to a home, schooling, economic security, safety, and a promising future.

Description

We learned early-on that to build in war-torn communities one must partner locally with non-governmental organizations that hold the trust of the local community and maintain the highest standards of fiscal and personal integrity.

Everyone who works at Rebuilding Alliance is committed to building peace and justice through programs that make a tangible difference and together, we do our best to make RA a great place to work. Many who have joined RA as interns or in entry-level jobs have gone on to their dream-job or pursued advanced degrees.

One of our past interns wrote the following:

"I always talk about interning with Rebuilding Alliance as one of my most important, challenging and formative work experiences, especially when I'm in interviews. You asked and expected big things of me right away, and I'm so grateful for that - coordinating a teleconference series, making phone calls to important peacekeepers, offering insights in team meetings, updating our internet presence. These are skills that I value so highly, and that I'm sure will be so important as I enter this industry that is entirely new to me. I would also like to stay in touch with you and Rebuilding Alliance and help in any way I can in the coming years, whether through donations or volunteering my time when I'm back in the Bay Area."
