A message from Jessie Qumsiyeh for the Palestine Institute for Biodiversity & Sustainability (PIBS) & the Palestine Museum of Natural History (PMNH)
Dear Friends of PIBS/PMNH,
Many activities took place around the world for Palestine and other important causes this past month and are ongoing. Many holidays were also observed in April. Therefore, most of you were very busy and thus we are deeply grateful for your attendance at our last monthly volunteers and supporters’ virtual meetup plus Mazin’s briefing on Gaza!
Here are the slides and recording of the first hour’s meetup on PIBS progress Here is the recording of the second hour’s briefing on Gaza.
We are honored to invite you to our next (#58) monthly virtual meetup on this Saturday, 3 May 2025. The time and link are below. If you are receiving this message for the first time, you would be pleased to know that we have been holding this monthly virtual meetup on the first Saturday of each month since July 2020 at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. During the meetup, we updated our volunteers and donors of the activities at the Palestine Institute for Biodiversity and Sustainability for the previous month and the challenges we faced. We have kept this monthly virtual forum since then.
Saturday, 3 May 2025 at 8 PM Palestine Summer Time / 7 PM CET / 6 PM GMT / 1 PM EDT / 10 AM PDT. The total duration will be two hours. In the first hour, we will review PIBS activities for the month of April 2025. In the second hour, Prof. Mazin will speak about the situation in Gaza and the West Bank. You could attend either hour or both hours.
