The Rachel Corrie Foundation for Peace and Justice presents

Dr. El-Farra, a Palestinian physician, activist, and mother, founded the Rachel Corrie Children and Youth Cultural Center in 2003. She is the Director of Gaza Projects for the Middle East Children’s Alliance, serves as a health development consultant for the Union of Health Work Committees in Gaza, and is Vice President of the Palestinian Red Crescent Society. Dr. El-Farra is an internationally-recognized human rights leader who speaks regularly at conferences in Europe and is currently writing a book with Noam Chomsky. She will be in Olympia one day only during her first US speaking tour, which will also take her to the US Social Forum in Atlanta, the national conference of United for Peace and Justice in Chicago, and to “The World Says No to Israeli Occupation” – a mass mobilization in Washington DC. All funds raised on Dr. El-Farra’s tour will go directly to serving the needs of women, children, and families in the Gaza Strip.
