If you are unable to go, but would still like to help, then please sponsor a Friends of Al Aqsa volunteer : Hashim Hasan,  Sponsorship request letter below

Respected Brothers and Sisters,
One of our volunteers, Brother Hashim Hasan, is hoping to travel to Gaza in December 2009. He is a student studying video camera photography and he hopes to produce a film of his journey and his time in Gaza.
This is a great opportunity for Friends of Al-Aqsa to obtain its own materials and footage from Gaza which will be useful for drawing attention to the dire situation being faced by Palestinians living there.
The equipment that Br. Hashim needs is expensive, and we are making this appeal to assist him in purchasing the necessary kit. We request that you assist Br. Hashim in any way that you can.
