| Educational Project |
| In the framework of this project we train teenage boys and girls from kibbutz high schools how to tutor their special needs peers, all of whom live in the periphery. This service enables the welfare system in the area to widen its informal educational activities for the weaker side of the population during the afternoon hours: after the special needs youth have left the institution/school/framework that they attend during school hours. Also, this project enables opening new frames that were non existant beforehand: for example, the club room for special needs youth who have C.P. in Nitzaney HaNegev school, which absorbs Jewish and Bedouin special needs youth, activities of photography classes for retarded youth with normal youth which takes place at the Kochav centre in Maalot, and other similar activities in other places. This project advocates for positive educational activities, area wise, for all communities in peripheral areas and deepens the contact between communities and the special needs youth with their families. |
| The project is ongoing since 1995 in the Western Galilee, the northern Negev, the Upper Galilee, Beit Shaan Valley and the Jordan Valley areas and we aim to widen to other areas and to other different communities like the Arab villages and other sectors. The activities are based in a certain area and serve all the special needs population from kibbutzim, Arab villages, community villages, towns and developing towns in that particular area. |
| Till now we have received financial support from the Sakta Fund and the Jewish Federation for which we are grateful and extend our thanks for their articipation. |
