No one has been affected more by the terror and uncertainty sweeping Israel than her children. The thousands of children living in the communities of the Samaria Regional Council have been hit even harder, according to our social workers.
A majority of these children know a family member, neighbor or friend who has been killed or injured by terrorists. Their parents have lost their jobs because they are unable to travel on the roads to their places of employment. The children have been confined to their communities because of fear of violence.
Summer is fast approaching. Summer is a time for children to be carefree and have fun. One of the most important summer activities for children everywhere is a summer camp experience. For Samaria's children it is essential.
This year the Department of Social Services would like to enable our children to leave the stress of the current matzav (situation) behind them for a few weeks and let them concentrate on summer fun.
We plan to help our children to attend Israeli camps by offsetting the cost of these programs.
Your donation can help us to offset the cost of a summer camp experience for each of our children.
For $80, you can send a child to camp this summer!
Please help us this summer to send up to 500 children from approximately 200 families to summer camp in their own communities.
