The Department of Service to Palestinian Refugees (DSPR) offers humatarian, psychosocial support and vocational training to the young people of Gaza — the innocent victims of four wars since 2009 — giving them hope for the future.
DSPR
(Also known as NECC)
Specialist mentoring and psychological support is given to all students, which are essential to help them complete and succeed in their training courses and develop as individuals and cope with the isolation of everyday life in Gaza.
They currently supervise four training centres – promoting gender equality — including courses in technical/vocational trades (building, carpentry, welding, and other hands-on practical trades), advanced dressmaking, secretarial studies, office management, and English language study. Interest-free educational loans are also made available for those students wishing to complete their studies in Palestinian universities.

For webinar ten we were joined by our good friends Jeff Halper and Linda Ramsden from the Israeli Committee Against Home Demolitions (ICAHD). We discussed with them why Israel pursues the policy of home demolition both within the Occupied Palestinian Territory and the state of Israel, its devastating impacts and the actions they are involved in to challenge this practice.
For our ninth webinar of the season we provided an update from those who took part in our Run The Wall fundraiser. We were joined by George Zeidan and Diala Isid from Right To Movement, who talked about the inspiration behind the Palestine Marathon and how it has become a focal point for solidarity with the Palestinian people. Elias D’eis from Holy Land Trust also joined us to discuss our Home Rebuild plans for 2022 and to update us on the 2021 rebuild.
After the huge success of last year’s virtual tour of Jabalia Camp in Gaza (one of our most popular webinars), we returned to the Strip for the sixth episode in our Dozen Tuesdays series to join our friends from We Are Not Numbers who created another virtual tour for us.
Our fourth episode of A Dozen Tuesdays was a cycling special when Alaa al-Dali joined us from the Gaza Sunbirds, Moe Zarour from Palestine Riders Mountain Bike Club and the Amari Bike Camp in Ramallah and Ellen Logan from The Big Ride for Palestine. Watch again.
In the first episode of our Dozen Tuesdays webinar season, we focussed on the Palestinian city of Hebron and the surrounding South Hebron Hills when we were joined by members of our partner HIRN’s management team. HIRN stands for Hebron International Resources Network, and they are based in Hebron and work across the surrounding areas.
It seems that we are continually asking this question; what next for Palestine and Israel... one-state, two-state, Netanyahu, Bennett, boycott, the so-called peace process, Sheikh Jarrah/East Jerusalem, Gaza, Hamas. Listen and watch again to our conversation with Jonathan Cook and Phoebe Rison as they discussed some of the issues with Amos Director Chris Rose.
Listen and watch again as our friend Sami Awad from Holy Land Trust in Bethlehem updates us on the current situation in Palestine. As things in East Jerusalem and Gaza continue to escalate, Sami spoke with Amos director Chris Rose, Charlotte Marshall from Sabeel-Kairos and Jess Foster. He also shared news of his friends and family in Gaza. Sami, whose family fled Jerusalem in 1948, spoke about his thoughts on the current situation and answered some of your questions.
