Diving benefits the youth who suddenly found themselves without a home, without self-confidence, and without stable ground to stand on
We have been running the unique program since the first week of the war. We aim to grant the teen evacuees in Eilat a sense of peace, comfort and time to process the difficult experiences they had on that 'black' Sabbath.
We have already managed through this activity to create a routine for some 150 youth from the envelope communities and the city of Sderot. They now have motivation to get up in the morning and engage with life.
Unfortunately, the war-time reality has not changed. At present we are aware of hundreds of teens in Eilat, who are disconnected from the education system and other activities, and they have developed behaviors that characterize youth at risk such as night-time wandering and consumption of drugs and alcohol.
The needs are many Help us help them.
