THE KUFIYEH PROJECT LAUNCHED
New Orleans Palestine Solidarity and Palestine Online Store are proud to announce the launch of The Kufiyeh Project. This not-for-profit endeavour aims to promote the kufiyeh as a symbol of resistance and solidarity with the Palestinian struggle, while at the same time saving the only kufiyeh factory in Palestine from shutting down. Income from this project will be rechanneled towards these objectives, under the guidance of an advisory board.
The Kufiyeh Project has just launched its website, which includes some background information on the kufiyah (for example, how it was adopted by the entire Palestinian population in the resistance against British colonialism in 1936, links to news, multimedia, and comedy about the kufiyeh, and a peak at the factory in Hebron.)
Your support is essential for making this project succeed. We are about to place an order with the factory, and hope that you will join us in placing an order. We have set the retail price of the kufiyeh at $12, while a dozen is discounted by $24 (to $120). For orders of 6 dozen or more, the discount is 33%, coming out to $8 a piece, plus the actual cost of shipping and handling, not to exceed $100.
The website is at: http://www.thekufiyehproject.org - please make sure to check it out! And you can reach either of us at: info@thekufiyehproject.org
In solidarity,
Mai Bader and Haithem El-Zabri.
The Kufiyeh Project.
