On March 26, 2010, eleven poets, including local poet Martin Espada, read poems to raise funds and awareness about the current plight of the people, children especially, who suffering a collective political punishment in Gaza. That evening, Moving Towards Home will be raising funds for the Middle East Children's Alliance. The Odyssey was proud to host Moving Toward Home: A reading for Gaza: a Benefit for the Middle East Children's Alliance.
