Intensive preparation work for the flotilla campaign carrying humanitarian aid to people of Palestine is continuing. While the maintenance of both the cargo ship and the passenger ship is being carried out, aid materials including medicines, medical items, cement, iron and precast materials are collected as well.

The Foundation has now good news for the sponsor families of the orphans in Gaza. Sponsor families are now welcome to send boxes of gifts via the flotilla campaign to the orphan they have been sponsoring. For more information, please call IHH’s Orphan Support Center on these phone numbers: +90 212 631 21 21 (ext. 241 / 242 / 243)

Tips on preparing gift boxes:

The box weight should not exceed 2 kgs.

Gifts should be packaged as parcels, in cardboard boxes.

The box should not contain fragile items or food materials.

A copy of the “orphan information file” provided to you by the Foundation should be attached to the gift box.

Gift boxes should be submitted to the Foundation’s Orphan Support Center by May 12, 2010.
