Yesterday, 11th March, was National Good Deed Day in Israel and of course the ITEC took part! Congratulations to our fabulous managers and their teams, who never miss an opportunity to teach our children that being able to give back is one of our greatest gifts.
The ITEC – Tiberias took 45 children from the Embrace Project for children at risk to an old age home in the city. They played games with the residents and gave them “Misloach Manot” to celebrate Purim.
Over 30 children from the Embrace Project at the ITEC – Shmona went to a local home for people with special needs – they entertained the residents with music, played games and had a great time!
The children from the Embrace Project at the ITEC – Akko also did something special to mark this day – they went to visit a local charity for children with special needs.
Not to be outdone, the ITEC – Beer Sheva, took children from all different programs to an old age home to organize fun activities for its residents.
The ITEC – Ramat Hasharon also got involved – children along with some staff members went to a local after school club in an impoverished area to help repair their outdoor play area.
