Datin Paduka Marina Mahathir, who initiated and launched the project in partnership with the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) Malaysia, said they are now in the process of translating the messages into Arabic before sending them to the children of Gaza.
She told reporters after receiving 2,500 hand-made friendship cards from Cempaka School students here today.
She hoped more young Malaysians would contribute towards the project by showing their warmth and support towards Gaza's children through their messages.
