Hadas

This year has been incredibly exciting for Makom Balev! Through prayer, reflection, and unwavering dedication, we successfully launched our organization's activities. Despite the significant challenges our country is navigating and initial delays due to the war, we have been doubly blessed by God's grace in our efforts.

We began our activities with the "Yovel" School of Arts, where every Tuesday we accompanied our participants in the painting and poetry workshop. The light in their eyes cannot be described! The excitement to be creative, to paint, to express themselves, and to sing in honor of the Lord, all of these stood out from the very first moment.

I witnessed our participants change from feeling nervous and shy at first, to being very open and excited about our activities every day. Later in the year, we were fortunate to work with the "Revivi Israel" agricultural farm. We picked strawberries, gathered fresh eggs from chicken coops, and took care of the kibbutz's goats together.

The opportunity to go out and enjoy nature that God created, and to see the growth of different plants, taught us all so much. I am so thankful to the Lord for the privilege of serving and accompanying the participants of "Makom Balev." Each one of them is unique and special, precious in God's eyes, beloved and talented!
