Located around the Gaza strip, Ofakim has known much hardships; missile attacks and fire balloons have burned approximately 8,000 acres of land in the area. Chamah eases their daily struggle by providing nutritious breakfasts to children learning at the Elementary Ofakim School.
The group is for children with parents. Classes include music; rhythmic and finger games under the accompaniment, children’s songs, elements of logarithmic and creativity; working with colors, natural and sensory materials.
Chamah was honored to host Mr. Harvey Mackler, Founder of the Joseph Alexander Foundation, who have been generous friends and supporters for over three decades!
Amongst the Chanukah celebrations, Chamah held a special party for senior citizens and veterans. They were touched by the kindling of the Menorah, remembering the days when keeping Judaic customs were strictly forbidden.
Chamah International sent a delegation to Israel to visit with the heroes on the front lines and bring a Torah and Tefillin to soldiers protecting Am Yisrael.
Children at the Mofet School in Jerusalem marked Memorial Day in honor of fallen and wounded IDF soldiers who gave up their very lives for our Homeland Israel. Independence Day was also celebrated.
