Donating to the schools of Shimoni

| Kids of Shimoni |
School holidays! When school is out,
it gives us an opportunity to organize ourselves and take care of things we might
not have the time for during normal weeks.
I had the privilege of sorting the MASSIVE amounts of donations we had
accumulated over the past few months from previous volunteers. From shoes to wet towels there was no
shortage of extremely useful things the children could use. After splitting the items into groups, I dragged
the mounds to one of our neighbors. When I got there, there were a couple of their
little ones playing in the rain/mud slipping every which way, embracing the
April showers. The ladies even gave us a discount since they knew we were
donating it to the schools!

A of couple days later, they had
finished the load and it was all ready to be taken to the schools. We piled the six bags into our van and headed
off. The journey was a rough one traveling
through the streets of Shimoni but the smiles on the teacher’s faces were
priceless. Everything we had to give was
never appreciated by us the way it will be by the children who receive them.
Since teaching is my main
objective, it is easy to forget some of the most important other things that
happen in this magical town. Whether it
is just sharing a smile with a little kid running through the street or feeling
the joy of others during a donation delivery, Shimoni always has something new
and beautiful to show you day after day.
