Congratulations to Petra Straga, winner of the prestigious LIYSF prize sponsored by the Matanel Foundation
with her Project : “Multilingual Minds, Delayed Neurological Decline ”
Price remitted by Lionel Mamane, Matanel Foundation's advisor the 14th of March during the 55th National Jonk Fuerscher Contest in Luxembourg.
Originally, this award was intended to offer the winner a summer internship at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel—one of the world’s leading centers for scientific research. So today, we would like to offer a sincere prayer for peace as an absolute necessity. For science, like music, is one of the few things that brings us together as human beings, across borders, languages, and conflicts. It knows no passport. And we hope that this prize will one day regain its special significance—and that these young people will, in a more peaceful world, be able to discover Israel.

News from GHIS school
Givat Haviva International School (GHIS)
We are very excited to share the news about Chernor – the GHIS graduate who is adopted by the community in Santa Barbara.
Chernor is a graduate from our first cohort. He is an orphan from Liberia who grew up in extreme poverty. Despite this, as a clever boy, he understood the value of education. He worked as a rickshaw driver from age 12, and it was this that enabled him to pay his school fees. GHIS was lucky to find Chernor as he was lucky to find us.
