Two years after October 7th, the pain and resilience of the Palestinian people are more visible than ever. In this episode, we bring you firsthand accounts from a Palestinian named Lina Mahmoud, who just visited her homeland this past summer.

What You'll Hear:

The devastating loss of Gaza’s schools
How 90% of remaining schools are now emergency shelters for displaced families, leaving children without classrooms or supplies
The mental health crisis affecting over 1 million Palestinian children
How faith and community are keeping education and hope alive despite impossible odds
What the Dearborn and US Palestinian community is doing to support education and preserve cultural identity
Actionable ways you can help—from raising awareness to supporting real organizations making a difference

Why This Matters:

Before October 7th, Gaza’s literacy rate was 98.2%—one of the highest in the region. Now, an entire generation faces an uncertain future, with education under attack and trauma on the rise. This episode goes beyond statistics to amplify real Palestinian voices, shining a light on both the suffering and the unbreakable spirit of a people fighting for their children’s right to learn.
