From all of us at Kitabna - Our Book CIC, wishing for peaceful horizons in the new year of 2024, and a holiday season of rest. So proud of everyone in the Kitabna team, and projects, working in their different worlds, and making time to support each other. Thanks to everyone we met this year, and to our beautiful team: Lin Bilal in Turkey, supporting the elderly in conflict and displacement; to Asia Haidar, in her journalism work for Der Spiegel in Germany, reporting now on Israel-Palestine; Shannon Rayner for her great support of refugee and asylum seeking communities with Islington Centre for Refugees and Migrants in the UK; Helen Patuck for story-writing workshop delivery and book creation in the UK, Armenia and Poland this year, and Usama Alshughry for his MHPSS work with IDP communities in Iraqi Kurdistan, and translation of our 2022-23 annual report, into Arabic, just in time for Christmas. 2023 has already given us so much more to reflect and work on, and 2024 will be the 10-year anniversary of the founding of Kitabna. Looking forward to sharing more about that in the new year 💛 You can read all of our reports (which link to all of our latest freely available stories, resources and guides) since the inauguration of the CIC in 2021 here, on our Reports page, in English and Arabic: https://lnkd.in/e_4BYmC3 ✨
