At Haverim's Art Therapy Workshop, we welcome any patient able to participate. During our years of volunteering at the Tel Hashomer Hospital's Rehabilitation Department, we've seen people of all ages and injuries: from soldiers and veterans, to terror victims, traffic accident victims and more.
Olga was unique, both her the injuries sustained, and in her sheer willpower. Olga is a young mother of a 3-year old. She was hospitalized over three months ago.
Olga was injured in a fire in her mother's house. She ran into the house trying to save her mother, and they were both seriously burnt. Her mother did not survive the fre. Olga has been tirelessly working to overcome her injury, and welcomes any help.
At the Workshop, Olga dedicated the peacock she painstainkingly made to her daughter, Hodaya. During the duration of her 3-month hospitalization, she has never missed a workshop.
Your support goes a long way: our volunteer art students and artists guide and teach the patients, we still need funds for the art supplies: canvases, paints, brushes. And we are always in search of more volunteers!
Thank you for your support.
