It takes a village.

As atrocities and scenes of carnage continue to reach us from Gaza this week, locals here in Cork are working hard to raise awareness and help in any way they can.

Among the voices calling for an end to the violence are businesses such as Collective Cork which is raising funds for the phenomenal Medicins sans Frontieres (Doctors without Borders), working night and day to save lives in the face of multiple bomb threats by Israeli forces and the ongoing destruction.

The yoga studio is hosting two fundraising classes this Sunday, October 22nd at their Tobin Street venue.

“We call on our students, friends, yogis to join us this Sunday to PRACTICE FOR PEACE in Palestine and Israel,” said the studio crew on Instagram.

“All the income from the class will be donated to Doctors without Borders (Medecins sans Frontieres) to support their job in the crisis between Palestine and Israel,” they added noting that “the money will go to GAZA and prayers for all the innocent involved from both sides.”
