Ofakim Le mada (SV55)
Dear Matanel Foundation,
We would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your quick response and generosity towards our efforts during this most difficult time. Thanks to your donation, the trainees of the Ofakim Gap-Year program have been able to volunteer and help with various tasks such as:
• Assistance to farmers with planting and harvesting work in the fields. There is a severe shortage of working hands at the moment.
• Clearing and cleaning shelters and protected spaces for the residents of the cities of Dimona and Rehovot.
• Reinforcement and assistance in kitchen work and maintenance in hotels in
Jerusalem, where families of evacuees stay.
• Conducting scientific activities to families of evacuees in several hotels in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.
• Running astronomy observations for evacuee families at a hotel in the Dead Sea.
These extremely important and much needed volunteering efforts involve expenses, and your donation helped us in providing transportation to the various volunteer activities,buying food and equipment for volunteering activities, accommodation expenses, and reinforcement of the preparatory staff, as many of the staff members are in reserve service or face other family difficulties.
Thank you again for helping us help others,
Best Regards,
Eli Amedi, Head of the Ofakim gap-year program
