By Emmanuel Elder | Chairman of the Keshatot Children's Fund
Dear Keshatot Children friends,
As the situation eases in Israel, after the 12 days of war with Iran, the students in the schools we support started enjoying the summer activities. The activities are focused on fun and games and less on lessons, including pool days and cooler activities.
During the 12 days the schools were out, at Harim School we raced ahead with the new educational kitchen, which will teach the young adults basic skills for home and future occupation. The old and outdated kitchen is out and it is becoming a professional kitchen!!! please see the transformation in the pictures. We hope to have the new educational kitchen up and running by the beginning of the school year in September 2025. This huge project, with all the health and safety requirements will cost $80,000, all of which were donated by the amazing Keshatot Children's friends. Thank you.
The Fund for Keshatot Children [reg. no. 580540532, recognized charity, clause 46, Israel Income Tax Authority] was established in 2011 by parents of autistic children who studied at the Keshatot Center in order to assist autistic children in their schools.The fund seeks contributions for complementary para-medical treatments [which are not among the therapies and treatments provided by the Ministry of Education], therapeutic and technological equipment and infrastructure improvement. The fund also organizes enrichment and recreational activities provided by local volunteers. Because the Fund for Keshatot Children is run solely by volunteers, all monies raised go directly towards these activities.
The Keshatot ("Rainbows" in hebrew) Center is a multi-regional magnet school serving 90 children age 3 – 13 on the autism spectrum in 2 kindergartens and 11 elementary school classes. These children graduate after the 6th grade and continue in Harim or Bareket high schools.
The Harim ("Mountains" in hebrew) high school, is a multi regional school in Givaat Ada, serving 60 adolescents age 13-21 on the autism spectrum.
We are all hoping for better, safer and calmer times, and for the students we support have a safe and happy and cool Summer, and that the kidnapped hostages return home very soon.
