The Sendamessage Foundation, www.sendamessage.nl, Holland is an official registered charity and the Peace and Freedom Forum (PFF) in Palestine, is a legal, registered youth organisation in Ramallah, Palestine. The Longest Letter is their second mutual project. The first, which is still running, has inspired over 800 individuals worldwide to have their personal message sprayed on the wall. The project has raised €14,000 so far. Some of these funds are destined to help set up a laundry service for students in Bir Zeit, Palestine, and a small amount of the money will go to the execution and setting up of the project which receives no external funding. The same goes for the Longest Letter project, which has been set up and will be run almost entirely by volunteers. We rely exclusively on individual sponsorship and your contribution makes a huge difference. End
