WIZO AUSTRALIA EXECUTIVE MEMBER VISITS AHUZAT YELADIM
|
|
On 21st December 2008, WIZO Australia's Fundraising & Organisation Chairperson,
Rachel Caplan, visited Ahuzat Yeladim and toured the facility in Haifa.
Below are her impressions of what she saw and experienced:
Yossi Saragossi, the Principal of WIZO Ahuzat Yeladim, had had a rough morning just before
we arrived for our tour of Ahuza - that comes with the territory when you are dealing with
the lives of children who have deep psychological problems.
Notwithstanding the trauma of the previous two hours, Yossi devoted himself to giving my husband
(Murray) and me, and Miki Preiss (also from Melbourne), an in-depth briefing on the activities at
Ahuza and a complete tour of the facilities.
We were treated to lunch and shown the amazing renovations of the dormitories, the new
state-of-the-art basketball court and the construction site of the "House of Dreams".
We all know that Yossi and his staff do an amazing job under difficult circumstances. We
can only admire them for what they do for these at-risk children in WIZO's care.

WIZO AUSTRALIA'S WEBMASTER VISITS AHUZAT YELADIM
|
|
On 30th October 2008, WIZO Australia's Webmaster, Andrew Rajcher, visited Ahuzat Yeladim and saw for
himself the facility in Haifa and witnessed the work being done there.
Below are his words and pictures:
In the company of three other Australians, I was privileged to visit Ahuzat Yeladim in Haifa and meet its totally dedicated Director,
Yossi Saragossi. After talking to him, touring the facility and then watching his staff interact with the teenagers in their care, it is
absolutely no overstatement to be able to say that these people are truly doing "G-d's work".
In the time that I've been WIZO Australia's Webmaster, this is the first time that I've expressed my own thoughts on this
website. However, after this visit, I could no longer restrain myself.
Wherever you look throughout the school, you see the numerous plaques on walls that give testimony to the generosity of the
many people who, through WIZO Australia, have made this project possible. WIZO Australia - you can be VERY proud of what you
have achieved here!
