Year Closing Event in Alon Shvut Center
Yesterday the children and their family members of the Alon After School Center of Yad Rachel in the Alon Shvut community gathered for a festive event to mark the end of the year of joint activity with the parents. The families met at Ammunition Hill and tried some challenging activities in which the parents and the children together coped with climbing to huge heights, walking on ropes and surfing in the omega while helping, encouraging, and especially enjoying together.
After that, Mastershef’s cooking activity took place and the families received a great meal othey nade together.
This activity summarizes a year of joint activity with the parents during which they regularly arrived at the program and received a unique quality time together with their children. We were very excited all year long to see them at the Center and enjoy their cooperation. We were also excited to see the children and parents enjoying the various joint activities.
Purim in Yad Rachel
These days we celebrate the holiday of Purim all around the country. Of course, it also was felt in our programs. The team members are doing their best to give children a special experience, colorful and happy.
Here are only several examples: our main building in Jerusalem became a palace with a fancy banquet hall, Alonim Afterschool Center became a live jungle, the Center in Mavkiim turned to a magical world of Alice in Wonderland and the kids from Alon Shvut were surprised to celebrate the holiday in the Kingdom of Sweets.
Thanks to huge effort of the staff members and their orientation towards the needs of our children, the kids from our Centers had really happy and special Purim holiday.
Keeping in touch with Afterschool Center graduates
The Afterschool Center at Alon Shvut has decided to remain in touch with its graduates. Kids who have gone through several years of the therapy process at the Center, return to the Center for a day a week. They have lunch, help the young children with their homework, and take part in the activities. Some days the graduates plan the activities together with the team of counselors and run them for the children by themselves.
Such days let us stay in touch with the graduates, and let them give back for what they have received over the years.
