Palestinian boys and girls play educatio

Palestinian boys and girls play educational games on the computer at the Al-Qattan (recreation) Centre for Children in Gaza City on June 18, 2009. Abdel Mohsin Qattan’s foundation is one of the leading cultural and educational institutions in the Palestinian territories, with an annual budget of over 2.2 million dollars, almost entirely underwritten by the Al-Qattan Charitable Trust, and over 70 staff working in Ramallah, Gaza City and London. The center, founded in the 1990s by a wealthy Palestinian businessman of the Qattan family, originally from Jaffa, provides children in war-battered Gaza and the West Bank with various educational and artistic activities during the summer holidays.
