CHILDREN’S CENTERS
Yad Ezra V’Shulamit Children’s Centers provides a daily hot lunch for Israel's poorest children. These children flourish when they receive proper nutrition and acquire the tools they need to succeed and break out of the poverty cycle. Tutors are on hand daily to help them do their homework. Music, Art and animal therapies are provided to help with emotional issues.
Remedial teachers help kids with learning disabilities to catch up to their peers with reading and writing skills. All these services are provided free of charge in an after school program that provides a lot of love and nurturing and runs all year long. In the summer, a camp is provided to give kids not only fun but a place to be besides the streets. They are taken on trips, swimming and enjoy a normal summer so they get what they need to start the new year afresh. We give these children a healthy childhood experience from the age of 4-14 which transforms their disadvantaged lives into a normal, healthy childhood with the promise of a better future for them and their children!
The children receive:
- A daily hot lunch
- Tutoring and help with homework
- Art, Music and Animal Therapy
- Access to a computer lab, exercise gym and library
- A Gymboree Room
- Enrichment Activities & Games
- Trips & Holiday Parties
In addition, each child receives a new backpack and school supplies as well as a new winter coat, heaters, clothing, footwear.
The Centers aid severely financially challenged families in Israel. With proper nourishment and the educational and social enhancement that we provide, this change is possible.
