"In the face of genocide, silence is a deafening betrayal. As Elie Wiesel implored, “We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.”

“When asked if the refugees would return to Gaza, their answer was yes—if there would be peace in Palestine. However, in reality, they acknowledged the difficulty of returning and admitted that there was nothing left for them there. Thus, their ultimate goal is to build a new life here in the Philippines and introduce Palestinian culture through their dishes, hoping that Filipinos will come to appreciate and enjoy them.”

“The dangers the IDPs in Sudan, DRC, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Ukraine, and Palestine face are innumerable. For this reason, they are considered as one of the most vulnerable people in the world. These people lost their homes and the lives they knew. They are forced to seek refuge in schools, churches, or camps. Only to find that the enemy indiscriminately targets schools, churches, or camps. There is no permanency in the life of an IDP. They live a transient life. Sense of safety and security becomes temporary.”

“Nook believes in the social aspect of work, in the potential of work to connect us with other people, not just professionally but emotionally and socially, making us more well-rounded and fulfilled with every task we complete. Nook is perfect for people who thrive on working with or in the presence of others, for individual professionals, start-ups, and businesses who want a place to meet or work without the need for renting out a permanent office space.”
