Getting dressed-up for the Holiday
As they have doneevery year, this year too “YedidLa’Yeled” (The Children’s Friends Foundation ) is proud to get the “Clothing Campaign” underway.
In preparation for Rosh Hashana and Passover, all the children who participate in the clubswere taken to the ‘Ofer Adumim’ Shopping Mall and were able to select new and fashionable clothing in the “Castro” and “Golf”stores– pants, shirts and dresses – each child being free to choose what they like.
They were also allowed to choose new shoes from the “Gali” store. The children spent a fun afternoon in the mall and, after eating a delicious pizza meal, they returned home – their eyes sparkling with joy and their hands carryingnew shopping bags.
This is the time to thank the “Castro”,“Golf” and “Gali” stores for their cooperation and for the considerablediscounts they provided for the purchase ofthe clothes and shoes.
And a big “thank you” to our dear volunteers who assisted in this amazing campaign. Our reward was seeing the amazing and delighted smiles of the children, who once again felt that they were ‘equal among equals’. Please be kind enough to confirm receipt of this email. Thank you.
Dressing the Foundation’s children
The Children’s Friends Foundation consistently supports the community. It continues its traditions of giving clothing and footwear to children on welfare support. As Rosh Hashanah was approaching, the Foundation, together with Na’aleiLapidot shoe stores, and the management of Nimrod Shoes, distributed some 60 pairs of shoes chosen by the children. Our great friend Eitan, from Na’aleiLapidot, who is always ready to help the Foundation and make his contribution felt, arrived with a number of pairs of shoes and several samples, and each child chose the ones he/she liked. The excitement was great for both the children and for ourselves, the members of the Foundation and our wonderful staff. The clothing was given to the children, and they chose their gifts from Castro at the shopping mall, and we would like to take this opportunity to thank the management of Castro and the manager of the store. All of this was made possible by WhatsApp messages that the Children’s Friends Foundation sent to its venerated friends and donors. We, the members of the Foundation, wish to thank each and every one of the people who made donations or helped the children with their selections. Shana Tova and may you continue contributing to our wonderful Ma’alehAdumim community.
