Children in Gaza fly kites on Friday, Feb. 9 as military escalation looms. For these children, they said flying kites is a welcome distraction from the grim reality of life in Rafah's tent city.

Along with kite-making, Rob Booth, who was there was his son, said he too flew kites as a youngster and now he was giving his children the same opportunity. They were busy making a kite’s tail.

With kites big or small, in all colors and designs, made by children in the Allegheny County foster care system, Kites for Kids is an event for at-risk children to anonymously have fun here.

Children of all ages will be able to see a lot more color and activities with the Kites for Kids event at the Carnegie Science Center. More for You.
