Jo Gostin (WIZO Australia Federal President) and Rony Bognar (Immediate Past
President of WIZO Australia), together with over 40 delegates to the
WIZO Meeting of Representatives, unanimously agreed to travel to Ashkelon and

.... AND WIZO AUSTRALIA EXECUTIVE MEMBER VISITS OUR AHUZAT YELADIM PROJECT On 21st December 2008, WIZO Australia's Fundraising & Organisation
Chairperson, Rachel Caplan, visited Ahuzat Yeladim and toured the facility in Haifa.
The WIZO Ahuzat Yeladim School, the flagship project in Israel sponsored by WIZO Australia,
is a specialised residential therapeutic school for children who suffer from behavioural
or emotional problems.
Most of the children come from highly dysfunctional families and have been removed from
their homes by a court order, others were on the verge of engaging in criminal activity.
At present, there are four children to a room, with one communal bathroom per floor.
The renovation will see three children share a bedroom, with each room having its own
bathroom. A relaxation area will also be incorporated allowing the children to have some
space outside of their bedroom.
