Shalom Le-Kulam,
There are children and teens who spend approximately 6 weeks in a special
home recovering from open heart surgery at Wolfson Hospital in Holon,
Israel. They need to be entertained until they are strong enough to fly back
to Africa, Eastern Europe and South America. What better way to to entertain
them than with the gift of reading.
If you send me Romanian, Swahili or Amharic books in any condition, I will
make sure that they get to the children. If you are in already in Israel,
email me and I'll send you the address of the home off list. If you have a
suggestion as to where I can get some children's books in African languages,
than please email me directly as well.
These surgeries are performed under the auspices of Save a Child's Heart.
You may have read about this organization in the book Sabrina: the girl with
a hole in her heart that was previously reviewed in our newsletter.
During this Festival of Freedom, let's give these children, who've just
received the freedom to live, something worth living for...reading.
Hag Sameah,
Jackie
