“Our aim is that our children, who admire stars, will dare to look up, to dream, to have goals to strive for, to work out their traumas, and develop a new sense of community, beauty, and faith” - Rev. Dr. Mitri Raheb

Children in Palestine constitute over 50% of the population.  They have increasingly become children at risk. 

In an environment of increased violence, the project focuses on creating safe space for children to express their emotions, fears, thoughts and visions.  The ICB developed the Bright Stars project with a creative, holistic approach and a large variety of techniques to motivate and stretch the children’s imaginations and possibilities.

Children gather in different art, music, sports, communication and environmental clubs according to their talents and gifts.  The children are encouraged to develop these gifts and talents.  Our hope is that, during the process, they discover themselves as Bright Stars in art, music, sports, communication, and environmental awareness.
