From Oriana's Desk: I've decided that each issue I will highlight content creators from Palestine, Lebanon and Human Rights activists everywhere that have touched my heart and that could benefit from their voices being amplified on the Fanoos platform. These creators have been contacted and have given permission to be featured. While those I feature may or may not be directly involved in dance or the arts, I think it's important to recognize their efforts in these ongoing crisis's. This is also a far from complete list of the incredible human elements involved in the rehabilitation, recovery and ongoing struggles being faced by millions. Please comment your favorite charities, organizations and creators in the comments below. It's not a competition- let's get the word out! Uncle Tito @uncle_tito_6
Muhammad is an 18-year-old aspiring circus artist living in Northern Gaza who was studying performance arts when the war began. He spends his days entertaining the children and bringing much needed smiles with his circus acts. He wrote: "My house was destroyed by the war, and my father and I were able to get back to normal. Thank God, we miraculously escaped death.
I made a donation campaign. Contribute to building my house. The campaign link is in the bio. By contributing and participating, you can save my family and children in northern Gaza."

Thank you for the great initiative! I just wanted to say that the link to the Donation Campaign for Uncle Tito is different in his TikTok bio from the one posted here. It is https://www.tiktok.com/link/v2?aid=1988&lang=en&scene=bio_url&target=https%3A%2F%2Fchuffed.org%2Fproject%2F118984-help-uncle-tito-bring-joy-in-north-gaza
