Shaun, just a thought, I know schools are desperately needed in Gaza but so are homes. Would it not be better to build homes first? As far as I know most homes, if not all, were completely destroyed in Gaza. Homes can be temporarily used as schools. I would think homes are the priority rather than a school. Can you share your thoughts on building schools rather than homes?

Gaza needs everything. I mean everything. Plumbing. Restrooms. Hospitals. Roads. Sewage. Water purification plants. Electricity. You name it. They need it.

You may not know this, but I have a project where we currently care for over 1,400 orphans. They are my responsibility and this is my project to begin giving them the education they need. Also, this finally will give their parents a break when they go to school.

But I generally hate when people say, "Why build XYZ when Gaza needs ABC?"

Gaza needs EVERYTHING.

Not being funny, but you can work on the housing.

I think this is so important. Education is a stepping stone and gateway to so much more. Let’s do this. I am so grateful this has come together. Excellent thinking.
