Brief
History of Organization |
|
|
|
The
Culture and Free Thought Association was established in
N/A
out
of a growing concern for the children of Palestine. The Israeli
occupation had taken its toll on the lives of children and there
was no safe space or place either inside or outside the home for
children to be. It was with the intent of providing such a place
and to assist in building a better future for the citizens of
this country that the Culture and Free Thought Association (CFTA)
was first envisioned. Today in cooperation with the community it
is working towards establishing a progressive democratic
society. It sees social development as the key to total
development. |
