Birth of Haven For Palestine
Haven For Palestine clothing line was born out of the need to create continous awareness of the pain in Palestine and eventually raise funds for the people of Palestine who are currently subjected to one of the greatest if not the greatest war crime in human history. Every minute Israel is terrorising , I feel helpless for not being able to do anything being so small and so far away.
But this does not mean that I want to sit still and do nothing.
With my retail and design background , I decided to create a series of Haven for Palestine t shirts with the goal that buyers will wear them in public places and show their support for Palestine. The t shirts serve also to remind anyone looking at the t shirt graphics to support Palestine in any way they can - be it demonstration, product boycotts, handing out information leaflets , or simply by thinking and praying for Palestine.
In Malaysia, local newspapers are really good about featuring articles on what really goes on in Palestine and the brutality of the Israeli forces. But on the net, unless you search for it, the front page of Yahoo dont even feature the bombings and killings under its main headlines. And why ? Who knows.
Give What You Have, and Its Not Money
Lets not let the Palestinians think that the world has forgotten about them. Everyone should be encouraged to support the Palestinians in any means they have , in any way they know how. Allah S.W.T the most generous and most merciful has given unique talents and abilities to every single individuals to use towards the cause of Islam. And you must look in yourself how you can use what you have to help the Palestinians - directly or indirectly.
Apart from donations, there are plenty of things you can do. If you are good with words, you can write poems about this and have the local papers feature it. If you are a good with websites and an avid blogger, you can create blogs and write ups about this. If you are good with art, you can create artwork depicting the events in Palestine and release the copyright so that people may freely reproduce it to spread the awareness ( i know a few foreign artists who does this. Alhamdulillah ).
I hope that you will wear your support for Palestine. It is silent , but like they say - pictures speak a thousand words.
With Warmest Regards
