Two of particular interest are www.eliusa.org Founded in 1979, the Israel Association for Child Protection (ELI) is recognized by the Government of Israel and other human service agencies as the only organization in Israel that deals specifically and exclusively with all of the various aspects of child abuse. The organization has worked tirelessly to increase the awareness of the problem by educating the public at large, by training professionals, by lobbying policy decision makers, and by providing vital information to potential victims and parents - all in order to expand ELI's ability to give assistance.
www.jspcashelter.org The JSPCA is Jerusalem's largest animal shelter organization. The Society runs a shelter in the Atarot industrial area of Jerusalem - a shelter which has been in continuous operation since 1970. We never refuse an animal if it is hurt, on the street or in a dangerous situation. Our shelter is a rescue shelter: Most animals that are not adopted live out their natural lives with us. That is why our shelter is generally overcrowded and often filled beyond its capacity. At any given time we house up to 300 dogs and 100 cats. In addition to our shelter, we have a vet clinic, with emergency capabilities.The JSPCA has an extensive spay/neuter program, we believe the only way to help deal with the current pet overpopulation. [My son is going to support this shelter as his mitzvah project for his barmitzvah and we visited it last week - well worth donating to it] Linda Press Wulf --- Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) =========================================================== Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: hasaf...@osu.edu SUBscribing, SIGNOFF commands send to: Listproc @ lists.acs.ohio-state.edu Questions, problems, complaints, compliments;-) send to: galron.1 @ osu.edu Ha-Safran Archives: Current: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html History: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/history.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org
