And we’re on our way!
We rested on the plane and are now headed south to begin our trip at Kibbutz Ketura.
Save a Child’s Heart
This afternoon, we headed to the inspiring NGO, Save a Child’s Heart. The organization brings children from around the world for a variety of heart procedures and surgeries. To date, Save a Child's Heart has saved the lives of more than 5,100 children from 62 countries in Africa, South America, Europe, Asia, and throughout the Middle East and trained more than 120 medical team members from these countries. The organization also recently opened centers in two additional countries. So what did we do? Preston found a buddy who rode on his back for over an hour. Ariana led a circle game with around fifteen of our students and six of the children. Ari and Micah built a magnatile fortress and then called a cute kid to come and drive his car in to it, bringing forth great glee from the child. And who could forget the dance party? While students couldn’t communicate in the language of the children or their parents, natural human empathy is universal.
