By Emmanuel Elder | Chairman of the Keshatot Children Foundation
The Fund for Keshatot Children [reg. no. 580540532, recognized charity, clause 46, Israel Income Tax Authority] was established in 2011 by parents of pupils who study at the Keshatot Center in order to support and expand the work of the center. The Keshatot Center is a multi-regional magnet school serving 89 children age 3 – 13 on the autism spectrum in 2 kindergartens and 11 elementary school classes. 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. For further information about the Fund for Keshatot Children and its activities, please go to http://www.ykeshatot.org.il
The success of our School Playground Renovation Project has encouraged the Fund for Keshatot Children and the staff of the Keshatot Center to keep making dreams come true, this time by renovating the 2 smaller playgrounds for our 2 kindergartens which serve children age 3-6. [The cost of both kindergarten playgrounds is 250,000 shekels including taxes.] So far, we have signd the contract and ordered the playgrounds. The structures were fabricated and should be arriving to the Keshatot Center in late June.
We have already engaged in the project and have raised 80% of the funds, we are appealing to you to take part in building playgrounds suitable to the needs of our kindergarteners. We will update again as soon as the construction begins.
We would like to acknowledge and thank all of you who support the Fund for Keshatot Children. Your activities and donations have made possible a widening range of projects which help advance the goals of our very special Keshatot Center. The Fund for Keshatot Children is recognized by the Israel Tax Authority, clause 46.
