All proceeds from this silent auction will be donated to Team Assal - a small but dedicated group of Palestinians working tirelessly to provide food, water, and essential aid to families in the Al-Mawasi camp in Khan Younis, Gaza. Ngā mihi nui to everyone who heeded the call to donate their goods, services and time to an important cause.
As well as the silent auction items we have up for grabs on this site, all one-time donations $10 or over that are made to Team Assal via the Raisely platform from October 13th - November 2nd will go into the draw for some awesome spot prizes donated by our communities.
A message from auction organiser Brodie Kane:
I have always been in awe of the spirit, bravery, resilience and unfathomable strength the Palestinian people have shown - not just over the past two years, but for the past 80+ years as they have faced the violence and hatred of settler colonialism and apartheid head on.
As I sit in the comfort of my warm, safe and loving home, I have come to learn the Palestinian people don't need my anger or my despair at the world. They need action - and we are all capable of doing something! No matter how big or small, helping the Palestinian people on their journey to achieve justice and freedom is what we need to do if we're to figure out how to save our joint humanity.
Thank you to everyone who's contributed to this silent auction - your love and commitment is so very appreciated. And all the best to everyone bidding on these amazing auction items - every single bid makes a difference and we will make sure every single dollar gets to the people who need it on the ground in Gaza.
