Tenufa Bakehila – Building Hope | Mobile repair workshop for senior citizens

We work to ensure that every individual lives in dignity in a home that is safe, sanitary, and nurturing.

Arnon Stein about the Perah Zahav program in Mitzpe Ramon

Negev Rising- Mitzpe Ramon, Israel

A few days ago we had the most moving gathering of our volunteer students towards the end of the year. Not all the volunteers were able to come, but the majority made the effort and enjoyed an uplifting experience.

The volunteers shared with each other their touching stories and struggles from their experience in the “Perach Zahav Matanel” project and drew strength and ideas from each other.
It is apparent how meaningful the project is for the elderly and not less, for the students.
Some relayed that they are the only ones to walk into their elderly’s house! Besides for their visit during the week, the senior is all alone and eagerly awaits the students visit- almost the only time he’ll turn on the light in the house.
