In Buenos Aires, a group of women began organizing charity raffles to help Palestinian families in Gaza. The initiative, named 'Tejiendo Solidaridad con Gaza' (Weaving Solidarity with Gaza), started after a young Palestinian from Gaza, who had recently been in Buenos Aires, took the microphone to speak. Moved by his story of loss and suffering, women like María de Mar began holding small raffles, selling her ceramics and flowers to raise money. The initiative quickly grew, uniting various pro-Palestinian groups. They organized cultural events, sold traditional food like Maqlube, and held visibility actions on the streets to draw attention to the crisis in Gaza. Funds were sent directly to Gaza through Abdallah and other activists to buy school supplies, warm clothing, and, most critically, water. For instance, one campaign successfully delivered 3,000 liters of clean water to 50 families. The 'Tejiendo' movement became a powerful symbol of unity and active solidarity, proving that concrete actions are more impactful than words.
