Announcing Our Fall Tour with Rami Khader

We're excited to officially announce our 2026 U.S. Tour for Anar Founder and Executive Director Rami Khader. Healing Beyond the Headlines: Building a Movement of Hope for Palestinian Children will take place Sep 20–Oct 3. Through presentations, conversations, and arts events in Minnesota (9/20–9/23), California (9/24–9/30), and Chicago (10/1–10/3), Rami will share stories from the ground in the West Bank and Gaza, offering a vision of healing for Palestinian children and their caregivers beyond the stories we often hear in the news. The tour will provide many meaningful, in-depth opportunities for those in the U.S. to learn more about Anar and Healing to Hope.

Visit our website for complete details on the tour. RSVP is not required to attend public tour events, unless otherwise noted. However, filling out the RSVP form ensures that you can be updated on any event changes and new tour information. All tour events are free to the general public. We welcome your much-needed donations to sustain, support, and raise awareness about Anar’s crucial community-based psychosocial accompaniment work with Palestinian children and caregivers in the West Bank and Gaza.

Watch the Recording of Anar in Gaza

Thanks to all who joined us for our August 13th online event, Anar in Gaza: Holding Care, Dignity, and Hope in the Midst of Ongoing Trauma. It was an incredibly moving gathering, and we we hope those who missed it will watch and share the recording from our Vimeo site, where you can also access our growing Healing to Hope video library.

Thank You

Thank you for supporting the work of Healing to Hope and Anar to advance the well-being and resilience of Palestinian children and caregivers impacted by violence and oppression. We appreciate our entire community for committing to the movement for justice and healing in Palestine.
