Increase in National-Service-Volunteer allocation
to ALEH Bnei Brak
04
National Service volunteers are one of the backbones of the care and love that ALEH provides to its residents. These young people are full of positive energy and love. They plan and operate a wide variety of programs, and shower the residents with affection and attention. For years, the National Service allocation to ALEH Bnei Brak has been for only two girls. In a very significant step, after a lengthy process of negotiation with the relevant authorities, the allocation of National Service volunteers was increased to 12 during 2016. The residents now benefit from the presence of 10 National Service girls and two boys. In addition to the ongoing support and love that these volunteers provide to the residents, they facilitate many afternoon activities, organize volunteer Shabbats( there is minimal staff at the residence during Shabbat), and offer invaluable assistance to the staff.
