MAP's 25th Anniversary Special Gala Dinner - 11 June, 2010

MAP's Dr Swee Wins Lifetime Award

MAP founder Dr Swee was presented with a lifetime achievement award at MAP's 25th anniversary dinner on 11 June in central London.

Over 340 guests attended the event that saw over £300,000 raised towards MAP projects addressing burns injuries, child trauma care and helping Palestinians with disabilities.

A host of famous names included Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Ken Livingstone and Afif Safieh wished MAP well on its anniversary, while our new President Lord Patten delivered a powerful speech criticizing the complicity of the European Union in the crippling Israeli blockade of Gaza.

A series of powerful short documentaries by MAP Films highlighted the ongoing struggle of Palestinians to obtain dignity and access to health.

At the close of the evening the Palestinian band Al Asheqeen performed a thrilling set of music. MAP thanks Al Asheqeen for performing for free, and thanks all of our supporters and guests for making the evening a success.

Dr Swee is awarded a MAP lifetime award

Supporters of MAP across the UK are organising their own events to raise money for vulnerable Palestinians across the Middle East. Following the devastating events in Gaza in last year, the need is greater than ever. MAP, with offices and staff across the region, is able to respond to these needs - but only with your continued support.
