In Gaza, it's always a massacre after a massacre after a massacre. And I'm here, and I'm in for the fight of my life for my family's lives. And I'm doomed to give up and go back to my struggle.
A glimpse of hope in the middle of darkness.

GGM team, so proud of you 🌹🫶

Some of us are not in Gaza.
But at the same time we never left it.
We carried their voices across borders, through algorithms, into timelines that didn't want to hear it.
We showed up from the UK , from the US, Portugal, from everywhere.
Because we believed what they believed:
That a child in a tent deserves the same education as a child anywhere else in the world.
Today, the team in Gaza said ' Thank You.'
But the truth is that being part of this community is the greatest privilege we've ever had.
Thank you too for letting us all into your lives.
This is Gaza Great Minds.
And we are proud to call it home. 🤍 #WeWillReadAgain

We begin our teacher series with the heart of Gaza Great Minds. 🤍
"Ms. Ibtissam, the mother of GGM".
She teaches Arabic to our youngest students, planting words and kindness in the same breath.
In this photo, she receives a certificate of appreciation from Ahmad @Ahmadtalks2 and Teacher Jawad, with Noor @NRyadt standing quietly at the back, always present, always supporting.
Ms. Ibtissam, you are the warmth our children feel when they walk in the tent. You are patience, you are wisdom, you are home. Thank you for being the mother we all lean on. 🤍

It'd be monumentally great if you support Gaza Great Minds. One of the most important, if not the most important, educational initiatives that keep education alive in Gaza for children.
Support and donate to them if you want the children of Gaza to have their right to learn.

Two Years.
During a war. Through loss and displacement cycles. Two years of tents that should have been temporary.
And, still they showed up. Still they learned. Still they celebrated.
Gaza Great Minds didn't just the survive. It became proof that nothing - NOTHING - can stop a child who wants to read. (1/2)👇

The genocide in Gaza continues
The air strikes have increased and on a daily basis and with that the number of martyrs and injured.
The world got used to seeing a genocide that a few air strikes a day hold no importance to the value of human life as if it’s just a normal day.
Allah protect us.
We won’t forget nor forgive

Two tent schools with hundreds of children but with only one mission:
Free education for the children of Gaza.
Gaza Great Minds has been running since more than 2 years ago under fire, in displacement camps, under tent roofs, on sand floors.
Most people never heard of it.
Now you have. Share it.🩶

The algorithm is working hard to keep this quiet.
Ahmad @Ahmadtalks2 is asking for help to open a 3rd school for Gaza's children.
But X doesn't want you to see it.
So here's what you do:
See the video.
Share. Retweet. Check out our profile. Comment.
They are counting on your silence. Make noise in your quotes.

Our founder Ahmad @Ahmadtalks2 remembers the beginning.
Today, GGM has two schools. Hundreds of students. Classrooms built from courage.
But thousands of children more are still walking through the ruins of Gaza with no place to learn. No teacher waiting for them.
So we are asking for help. To open a third school. To reach more children. To give them what no one can take away.
Visit our website. See how you can be part of what comes next.

How Eid should be: joyful celebrations, visiting relatives and sharing sweets
How Eid is in Gaza: strikes everywhere, visiting cemeteries to bury new martyrs and sharing death.

Carrying More Than Chalk: A Teacher's Journey in Gaza
by @Ahmadtalks2
"There are days in Gaza when simply waking up feels like an achievement.
I am a teacher. A father. And the founder of Gaza Great Minds. These titles may sound noble from the outside, but here, they carry a weight that is hard to explain unless you have lived it. Every morning begins not with routine, but with uncertainty. Will there be electricity? Will the roads be safe? Will the children make it to school? And most importantly, will I be able to give them what they deserve today?
Because teaching here is not just about lessons. It is about survival. It is about dignity. It is about holding on to hope when everything around you IS trying to take it away." (1/ 5) 🧵 👇

Our students created this video for Palestinian Prisoner's Day to shine a light on the injustice of the new Israeli death penalty order. 🕊️🇵🇸
We want our prisoners and their families to know: you are not forgotten. Your voices are heard. You are not alone.
In Gaza, we teach our children that justice matters. That freedom is a right. And that we stand with every Palestinian behind bars.
This video is their voice. We hope the world listens.

A tragic farewell for 3-year-old Yahya Al-Malahi from Gaza City. Just one hour after taking a commemorative photo with his father in preparation for a wedding, the toddler was killed in an Israeli strike that targeted a police vehicle on Nafaq Street.
Yahya, who had carefully chosen his new clothes for the celebration, died while still wearing them, becoming one of several victims in the latest surge of Israeli crimes in the enclave.

Pencil Drawing by Irish Activist and Artist Anne-Marie Farrell
Education has itself become a frontline in the midst of genocide. The destruction of learning spaces, the killing and displacement of students and educators, and the erasure of educational institutions are not collateral damage or unintended consequences. These are deliberate acts with grave implications for justice, post-conflict recovery, and long-term development. Israel is not only destroying the past and the present by targeting nearly all educational institutions in Gaza, but also killing its future." —Wadee Alarabeed

Words from an article:
'Education in a time of genocide: scholasticide and the duty of the humanitarians.' By Wadee Alarabeed for the Humanitarian Practice Network.

Today we enjoyed a creative drawing session where every girl created her own piece of art using mosaic. After learning about shapes, colors, and how they harmonize together, each student expressed herself through her work.
Ghazal chose to draw cats and the sun things she loves and connects with. Aya, who always surprises us with her creativity, illustrated the lighthouse at Gaza’s seaport along with a ship’s sail, saying that the sea is the place she loves the most.
A session full of color, expression, and beautiful stories told through art.

Is this happening because we are Palestinians!
We worked months to reach 10,000 💙
Then X purged accounts. And just like that, we are back below that number.
This platform has been suppressing our content since day one. Now it is deleting the very people who chose to see these children. We are not giving up.
But we need you.
Follow us. Share this. Check out our profile. Interact in some way with this tweet.
These children deserve to be seen. No algorithm. No purge. No silence will change that. 💙

A little girl in Germany sat down and wrote us a message. 🇩🇪 🤍 🇵🇸
Her words crossed borders. Her heart reached Gaza.
She drew the Palestinian flag herself. It may not be perfect. But it was drawn with love. And that is more than enough for us.
This is what the Message of Light looks like when it travels the world.
Thank you, Mathilda.
The children of Gaza Great Minds feel every word. 🫶💕

We started with a tent. A parachute for a roof. A teacher who refused to give up.
And today, 10,000 of you stood with us.
This is not a number. This is 10,000 people who looked at Gaza's children and said we see you. We are here. We are not going anywhere.
Thank you.
To and from Ahmad @Ahmadtalks2. To and from every teacher. To and from every child who ever stood in the Butterfly Corner with their wings spread wide.
This is just the beginning. 💙

A student opens a book in a tent classroom in Gaza.
Not because it is easy. Because they refuse to stop dreaming.
The wind moves the fabric above them. But their future is stronger than the canvas.
Tonight they don't need electricity.
They need your words. 🕯️
Leave a message of encouragement in the comments below. A sincere word. A sentence of hope.
Let us light a glow that reaches every tent in Gaza.
