What differ us from other organizations? 

Wide support network

  • We believe that from the difference in the disabilities a joint success can flourish:  people with different disabilities (physically handicapped, blind, and deaf) share activities and support each other.
  • We integrate groups from different ages: Children, teen-agers and adults, who act together. The grown-ups are a model for the children who learn that you can live a full life despite your disabilities. The children are a "ray of light" for the adults, and motivate them to use their abilities to educate the next generation.
  • We offer all kinds of activities: Creative and social activity, professional courses, adventurous sports etc.
  • We give back to the community and empower our members: collect clothes and distribute them among needy families, visit IDF bases and distribute gifts to the soldiers, and much more…

 

The organization is a warm home for all its members and is a basis for a large variety of activities in a supporting, family-like environment. The different channels of activities the organization operates in order to achieve its goals enables its members to act in miscellaneous ways, all from the same active house.
